Tips on how to unclog a toilet? 😭

Got home to my sister crying on the floor after blocking my bathroom toilet and flooding the floor. 😫😫
I'm going to buy a plunger tomorrow as there's no shops open. And I've tried using dish washing liquid and baking soda and vinegar but nothing worked 😓 I really hope the plunger works cause I don't want to call a plumber.

if it's not completely clogged, hot water can help dislog a clog. the hanger mentioned is a viable trick. plunger is usually your best first option

@SeductiveCactus it's pretty straight forward. sometimes it's better to compress the plunger to the side and pull up to create a backflow, pulling the clog back up the line a little to let water was around it and reduce its size. there are also toilet safe caustic chemicals (stuff like liquid plumber) that can work, but you need to make sure they're toilet safe before you deploy them.
