How to Unclog a Toilet
A clogged toilet often can be cleared in a few simple steps. Give these a try before you call in the pros. It should be obvious, but if you think your toilet is blocked, don't use it until the blockage is cleared.
Steps
Ask your family if anything is missing. A missing toy or a make up container could be blocking the toilet and if so will likely require you to use a toilet auger. If no one knows about anything missing, you're probably dealing with a clog.
Place some old towels or blankets on the floor around the toilet, (no matter how careful you are, some water will likely splash onto the floor).
Scoop water out of the toilet bowl into a bucket (not down the sink). Leave enough water to cover the plunger
Insert the plunger into the toilet, making sure the rubber globe or cup is fully seated over the drain opening and covered with water.
Push the plunger handle down with firm strokes. Increase pressure on the clog by pushing and releasing the plunger 10 to 15 times. Rough, careless plunging can damage the toilet bowl. If the clog isn't too tight, these bursts of increased water pressure caused by the plunger,will probably clear the obstruction.
Attack tougher problems with a toilet auger (similar to a plumber's snake but covered in a plastic sheath to protect the toilet bowl from scratches (see "eHow to Use a Plumber's Snake"). Lost toys, tubes of makeup and stubborn clogs will all probably require an auger.
Flush the toilet when you think the clog has moved. As a precaution, have the toilet tank lid off and be ready to stop the water flow by raising the ball in the toilet tank.
Tips & Warnings
* Buy the highest-quality plunger you can.
* If the plunger or the auger don't remove the clog, you options are to call in the pros or remove the toilet yourself and manually remove the blockage.
* If you're desperate and can't get hold of a plumber, a strong wet/dry vacuum will sometimes be able to remove a clog.
Be very cautious about using a chemical drian cleaner/opener in a clogged toilet. They are caustic and can cause chemical burns to the eyes or skin. Make sure that any product used is specifically marked as safe for use with porcelain, and follow the manufacturer's directions exactly. Never mix any of these chemical agents, as dangerous reactions could occur. Never attempt to plunge a toilet after you have put drain cleaner in the bowl.

I would try 1) a plunger and do it quite a few times if this does not work 2) try to remove the bog (if it is reachable) if not 3) try to use a Drano type product for the loo if still no luck 4) try removing the water that is in the bowl and then pour bucket(s) of water down the loo until the blockage clears

You don´t say where the bog is located if it is a friends house, leave and never see them again. If it is your home try flushing a lot of water from a bucket into the toilet!!!

I m trying to find out if I can use RID-EX copyrighted on a porcelain surface without damaging it because I don t drinkl enough water. Using a wire brush is the pits. Operation EWWWW... Anyway; if I COULD pour Rid-Ex directly into the Porcelain Bowl, I d know it would dissolve the fecal material without getting my hands dirty. Since I rent, I m unable to experiment. Or, I could find a junk yard and try it there. Y. or N. Yahoo?

the easy way is to get some acidic powder (at ur local supermarket) and dump a good quantity of it inside the toilet.. leave it for 15-30 mins, then flash down.. keep doing that until it works
the best way though, is with those ----( things where u push down the wooden part inside the toilet's whole and everything just leaves cause of the pressure built

It always results in having to put your hand down and pull whatever it is out. In your case, I can only wish you the best of luck.

You can try pushing your toilet brush down to unblock it,then keep flushing...you'll probably want a new brush after that though.
