Eliminate clogging in the toilet
Too much toilet paper, carelessly disposed of hygiene items or leftovers can lead to clogging of the toilet. Before you call the plumber, however, you can first try to clear the blockage yourself.
It is important that you stay calm if the toilet is blocked. If the water runs out very slowly or not at all, you should definitely avoid flushing the toilet again. A toilet bowl does not have an emergency overflow like a hand basin! Repeated flushing would cause the flushing water to run over the edge of the toilet in the event of a blockage, and so would you bath put under water.

To do this, use a wire clothes hanger that you bend open. You may be able to remove most of the paper and the water will drain. However, if you only pull individual scraps of paper out of the toilet, you will have to bite the bullet and try to pull the toilet paper out of the toilet by hand. Wear disposable or household gloves - you will certainly feel better with them and be able to proceed more calmly.
- If discarded food particles are the cause of the blockage, you may be able to dissolve them with boiling water and washing-up liquid. Wait until the water level has dropped significantly, then pour plenty of dishwashing detergent into the toilet and pour as much hot water as possible into it. Keep an eye on the water level so that the hot water does not overflow the toilet. Then wait a while, because the lye needs a few minutes to take effect. If the water suddenly runs out in one fell swoop, you have been successful.
