12A metal coat hangar

When any foreign object has clogged your toilet, you can use a metal coat hanger. Straighten out a coat hanger by untwisting the end and unbending it till you have a long metal piece. Insert the hanger into the toilet bowl bending it into whatever shape you want. Move it round to dislodge anything that may have got trapped in the toilet.

13Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen Peroxide is good for unclogging a drain. Just take 1/4th cup of it and pour it down the toilet. Allow it to remain for a few minutes and then pour a mug of boiling water down the drain. For any stubborn obstruction, repeat the process or use the metal hanger method along with hydrogen peroxide.
