If your toilet is clogged, you may be tempted to just start plunging away aggressively. However, this can actually do more harm than good. When you first start to plunge a toilet, the plunger cup is still full of air. A harsh motion can shoot water out of the toilet bowl and cause a mess. Instead, start with a few gentle plunges to get the air out of the plunger cup. Once the cup is full of water, you can then apply more force. With a little patience and care, you should be able to clear the clog without making a mess.
It is important to form a tight seal between the plunger and the drain hole. Once you have done this, begin plunging up and down with medium to heavy force. Continue for 15 to 20 strokes, then reassess the situation. If the clog is still present, repeat the process until it is cleared. With a little practice, you will be an expert at unclogging toilets in no time!
