2. Have you tried dish washing soap?

I find when my toilet is plugged, I give a good squirt of dish washing liquid into the toilet and let it stand for an hour or so. The soap helps as a lubricant. Then I fill a bucket and keep pouring the water carefully into the toilet to provide some pressure. If that doesn't do it, I repeat the process until it comes unclogged. So far, in the 21 years I've lived here, I haven't had to call a plumber for a toilet.
