I have found that a plunger and a toilet auger (closet snake) works best. Let me explain to you why it works well. A flange plunger with an extra rubber flap creates a strong seal and forces water through the clog with more power. If a flange plunger doesn't work a toilet auger can be a better alternative, because it's designed to break up or hook onto stubborn blockages without damaging the pipes. Further, I won't recommend you chemical drain cleaners as they sometimes do more harm than good. You can use enzyme cleaners for regular maintenance like Bioclean as they break down organic waste safely without damaging the pipe. For a natural option, I've had success with hot water and dish soap. Pouring in a few squirts of dish soap followed by a bucket of hot (not boiling) water can help loosen the clog. Why should you choose these options as they are effective, safe for pipes and you don't have to rely on harsh chemicals. Plus, they are budget friendly and you don't have to call a plumber as they are easy to use.
A good and effective one i've used for a severely clogged toilet is a combination of hot water, dish soap, and a high-quality plunger. Adding a good amoutn of dish soap helps when breaking down grease and waste, then, pouring a bucket of hot (not boiling) water softens the clog. after letting it sit for a few minutes, using a heavy-duty flange plunger with strong and consistent pressure creates the suction needed to dislodge the blockage. This method is safe, inexpensive, and avoids harsh chemicals that can damage pipes. if that fails, probably a toilet auger is the next best solution. Thank you!

For severe toilet clogs, enzyme-based cleaners are highly effective as they use natural enzymes to break down organic matter like hair and grease, providing a thorough clean without harsh chemicals. These cleaners continuously address blockages over time rather than offering a quick fix. An eco-friendly cleaning company successfully promoted an enzyme-based toilet cleaner, highlighting its non-toxic, biodegradable benefits, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers.
