Plunger:
Use a toilet plunger to try and dislodge the clog. Make sure to create a good seal around the drain and gently plunge up and down. Repeat as necessary.
Hot Water and Dish Soap:
Pour hot (not boiling) water mixed with dish soap into the toilet bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes to help break down the clog, then attempt plunging again.
Auger or Snake:
If plunging doesn’t work, use a toilet auger or snake to reach deeper into the drain and break up the clog.
Natural Solutions:
Alternatively, a mixture of baking soda and vinegar can sometimes help break down organic clogs. Pour about a cup of baking soda into the toilet followed by a cup of vinegar. Let it fizz for a few minutes before attempting to flush.
Call a Professional:
If these methods fail or if you’re uncomfortable attempting them yourself, it may be time to call a plumber for professional assistance.
If you need more specific advice or further assistance, feel free to ask!
