HELP!!! How to clear the clogged toilet...

[Vladimir]

Caustic and environmentally damaging chemicals work wonders. If one doesn't work by itself, mix a few for best results.

Does anything else connect to the same drain as the toilet? E.g. Bidet, shower or (I shudder to think) basin? When using the plunger, you may need to seal them off too.

no, just the toilet.

Enzyme preparations probably will work better.

There are several drain cleaner preperations or even mechanical devices that would work as well.

Not sure this is particularily useful but in my experience of this kind of miss-hap in the west, it's usually paper causing the blockage, not actual "fecal matter".

Actually, good point. There are many places such as in Greece and other less developed places they can't flush toilet paper due to the small drains, but instead, wipe themselves then put it in a bin.

I know a guy who accidentally created some sort of poison gas in his bathroom by doing that. We're talking the works, vomiting, blindness, breathing problems, trip to the ER. We gave him **** about it for years.

Friendly advice: do not mix complex compound chemicals at random. Interesting things can happen.

-edit-

Addendum: The blindness was temporary, before you ask, and mostly due to his eyes swelling shut.

Ammonia is the usual suspect, but if you're really unlucky, Chlorine or something even more nasty might result.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Oh that's probably the old trick of mixing bleach with ammonia. Though, if he really was enthusiastic he might have tried caustic soda with bleach.

[InsaneApache]

Use a bloody plunger. Honestly, kids.

and use a lot of force.

The coathanger is good as well.

If all else fails, take your shirt off, get your hands in and scrape. Make sure you wash before you make a sandwhich. Otherwise it might make the butty smell funny.

[rory_20_uk]

It'd make the butty smell... butty.

FWIW, there's a little girl in the neighborhood whom I will not longer allow to use our toilet. She dropped about a kilo of something that resembled play-doh in the bowl, and it took me two days of plunging, pouring, scraping and unwise use of chemicals to unclog. Now if I see her headed toward one of the two bathrooms, I ask her to go home.

I fondly remember cleaning latrine showers with my gas mask, protective gloves, and undiluted HCL-based cleaner. It works wonders as long as you don't let it sit too long on the tile and have a good seal on your mask.

[Cute Wolf]

just managed to obtain some big ammount of sodium hipochlorite and sodium hydroxide, let's see how it works if I let em overnight...

oh yeah, I won't sleep in my house today... the fumes will be unbearable and potentially dangerous to environment, I know...

[Rhyfelwyr]

Surely you could have tried the coat hanger first?

[Tellos Athenaios]

The coat hanger seems the better bet, a pump the next best. Unless the bet is that we see you on “New of the Weird” as some freak accident involving a toilet.

[Skullheadhq]

That's a pretty poopy situation you're in
