Toilets can become clogged when foreign objects like tissue clumps get stuck in the U-bend. This causes a blockage. You can also use the traditional method if you have a plunger.

If you are unable to use a plunger, there are two options for clearing blockages.

Method 1:

1. Hot water can be added to a bucket.
2. In the toilet bowl, add generous amounts of dishwashing detergent, shampoo, or liquid soap. You can also cut a bar of soap into smaller pieces and place it inside the no clog toilet bowl.
3. Pour the hot water into your toilet bowl to dissolve any liquid soap. By allowing the object to slide down the pipes, the soap should immediately unclog the toilet drain.
4. If necessary, repeat the process. The blockage is removed when the water level in the toilet bowl drops.
5. To remove any residue, flush the toilet several times once it is unclogged.

Method 2:

1. Rubber gloves are required to remove as much water as possible from the toilet bowl. This can be done by filling a small container with water and then pouring it into a bucket.
2. Warm water can be added to a large plastic container. Keep your thumb over the top and insert the top into the outlet at bottom of the small corner toilet.
3. Take out your thumb and hold the bottle with both hands. The water should shoot out of the bottle into the drain. The pressure should release the clog. To protect your eyes from water splashes, it's a good idea for you to wear a mask while performing this task.
4. Hot water can be added to the toilet bowl. If the water level drops, it is clear.
5. If necessary, repeat steps 2 through 4.
6. To clean the residue, pour 3 quarts (2.84 Liters) of boiling water into the bowl. Allow the water to cool down for 15 to 20 minutes. Now, you can flush the toilet.
