How to unclog a toilet by yourself?

How to unclog a toilet

Many people have experience of toilet clogging, often because of something like hair, toilet paper, etc. But how do we unclog the toilet ourselves?

The main reasons for toilet clogging are:
– There is something clogging the toilet
– The problem of the toilet lifting tank caused the toilet to clog
– The toilet ball plug caused the toilet to clog
– The toilet internal structure friction between the floating ball and the side wall of the water tank causes the toilet to clog

Make preparations before unclogging:
– Make sure that the water supply system of the toilet is turned off. Usually the shut-off switch is located behind the toilet and looks like a normal faucet.
– Do not turn off the water supply system of the whole house to prevent others from using water.
– Only shutting down the toilet’s water supply system can prevent “floods” in toilets.
– Make sure the toilet is well ventilated.
– Open ventilation equipment or open windows to minimize odors, and also avoid inhaling too much potentially toxic gas from any chemical products you may use.
