Here is a method you can use to get rid of bad blockages in your toilet.

1. If you are able to see the blockage by looking straight into the toilet bowl, wear a pair of rubber gloves and remove it. 

2. However, if the blockage can’t be seen or removed by hand. You’ll have to do trial and error.

3. Keep on wearing the rubber gloves and add a bit of dishwashing liquid into a half-filled bucket of hot water. Mix this.

4. Pour the solution into the bowl from your waist height and let it sit for some time. 

5. If the solution doesn’t break the blockage, use an unravelled wire coat hanger to hook the blockage. This will work well if the blockage is present in the first 5 to 10cm of the toilet drain.

6. For removing deeper blockages, you can use a drain snake. Push the drain snake down and exert force to clear the blockage.
