Only pour hot water into the bowl if there’s no risk of it overflowing. You can also add 1 cup (200 g) of Epsom salt to help break apart the clog.
Make sure not to add the vinegar so fast that the fizz goes over the edge of your toilet or else you’ll have a bigger mess to clean up.
If the water still doesn’t go down, try adding the same amount of baking soda and vinegar, but let it sit overnight.
Choose a cleaning rag that you don’t need to save since it will get very dirty when it breaks apart the clog.
If you don’t have liquid dish soap, you can also use any other sudsy liquid cleaner, such as shampoo or body wash.
Wear rubber cleaning gloves if you don’t want the toilet water to splash up.
If you don’t feel a clog or obstruction, it may be deeper in your pipes.
If the hanger doesn’t work for a second time, call a plumber to assess the problem.
