Imagine you’re on your way to the bathroom, but when you get there, the toilet is blocked. What do you do? If this has never happened to you, good for you! But if it has happened—and it will happen at some point in your life—you may be surprised at how easy it is to unclog a toilet.
I know people who have been known to use everything from paper towels to wire coat hangers for this purpose. But there’s no need to worry; most toilets can be unblocked with relative ease using common household items like baking soda and vinegar or plungers (or those wire coat hangers if you still have one hanging in your wardrobe).

The easiest way to unblock a toilet is with a plunger. If you don’t have one, don’t worry—you can use any type of rubber container or bowl to get the job done.

The first step is to make sure that you have enough water in your toilet bowl so that there are at least six inches of water above the blockage (this will prevent splashing). The next step is to position yourself on the floor in front of your toilet and place the plunger over its opening as if it were a cap for a bottle; then push down gently until all air has left the tube and only water remains in its place.

Take care not to push too hard, as this will simply add more pressure against whatever’s clogging things up rather than pushing it out through suction alone!

First, turn off the water supply to your toilet. This is usually located under the tank or behind it. If you’re unsure where it is, you can always switch off the mains water coming into your house. You’ll find the mains stopcock either under your kitchen sink, under the stairs, or on the pavement outside your house or in your driveway.

Next, remove any water remaining in your toilet bowl using a plunger (or some kind of plunger substitute). If it’s out of order or has been sitting unused for some time and won’t work properly, this step may also involve replacing it with another one that works better than yours did originally.

Then pour an entire bucketful of ice cubes down into the bowl—this will freeze up any standing water so that you can safely reach down below without getting wet or getting dirty from other things floating around on top of them.

This is the most common method used to unblock a toilet. To use this method, you’ll need to find and purchase an auger or snake that fits your toilet. Once you have it in hand, follow these steps:

Once you’ve unclogged your toilet, it’s time to clean up. Throw away all of the debris that came out of the drain and flushes again. Make sure there aren’t any leaks in your system before calling it a day!

While it is possible to use these techniques yourself, there is always a risk that you can make the problem worse or even damage the toilet so it is best to leave this sort of work up to professionals if you’re not familiar with plumbing or don’t know how to fix a clog on your own. But if you do decide that DIY is for you, here are some tips:
