Step 1: Gather Necessary Tools

       Before diving into the solution, make sure you have the right tools. You’ll need:

• • ✔ Plunger – A toilet plunger with a flange is ideal for creating a vacuum seal around the drain and dislodging blockages.
  • ✔ Rubber Gloves – Protect your hands from germs by wearing gloves when handling a clogged toilet.
  • ✔ Plumbing Snake (Optional) – If the clog is stubborn, a plumbing snake can help reach deeper clogs in the pipe.
  • ✔ Bucket and Towels – Prepare for any water spillage by having a bucket or towels nearby.

Step 2: Try Using a Plunger

       The trusty plunger is often the most effective tool to fix a clogged toilet. Start by inserting the plunger into the toilet bowl, making sure the flange is fully submerged. Push down firmly to create a seal, and then pull up sharply. Repeat this up-and-down motion several times, maintaining consistent pressure. If the blockage starts to loosen, you’ll notice the water begin to drain.

If it doesn’t budge, the blockage might be deeper in the drain, requiring a more persistent effort.

Step 3: Use a Plumbing Snake (If Necessary)

       If plunging fails, a plumbing snake might be the solution. A plumbing snake is a long, flexible tool that can reach deeper into the pipe to dislodge stubborn blockages. Insert the snake into the drain pipe and rotate it to break up the clog. Once the resistance lessens, carefully pull the snake out to check for the blockage.

Remember, using a plumbing snake improperly could damage your pipes. If you’re uncertain about this method, it’s best to contact a professional to avoid causing further damage.

Step 4: Apply a Chemical Drain Cleaner (Last Resort)

       If your toilet remains clogged after trying the plunger and snake, you might consider a chemical drain cleaner. However, these cleaners are harsh and can damage your pipes if used incorrectly. Follow the instructions carefully, and only use this method if other methods have failed.
