How To Clear Blocked Toilet ((install)) May 2026

1️⃣ – Use a flange plunger, not a sink plunger. Seal, push gently, then pull up fast. 2️⃣ Soap + hot water – Squirt dish soap, add hot (not boiling) water. Wait 10 mins. Magic? Sometimes. 3️⃣ Auger time – No luck? A toilet auger reaches deeper than a plunger.
