We’ve all been there:
You flush… and instead of a satisfying whoosh, the water rises ominously, threatening to spill over.
Panic sets in.
You reach for the plunger — but it’s missing, broken, or worse — you only have that sad little sink plunger that barely fits.
Don’t call a plumber (yet).
And don’t grab a coat hanger like it’s 1998.
Because you can unclog a toilet without a plunger — using common household items and a little know-how.
Here are 5 proven, safe methods that can save your floor (and your pride) — fast.

Now, let’s fix this — safely and effectively.
