6 Easy Steps for the Ultimate Guide on How to Use a Plunger!

When you realize that there is a problem, it is not time to panic!   You don’t want the toilet to overflow on the floor. You can see the water climbing in the bowl. The fear will cause you to panic just a little bit. Fight the urge to scream and remember what you need to do!  Just turn the water off at the valve behind the toilet. Then, follow these simple steps to unclog the pesky problem.

  • Lift the seat so you can see the problem and not get a mess on the underside of the seat.
  • Put a generous amount of liquid dish soap in the toilet bowl.
  • Use a good quality plunger.   Make sure it is one that will get a good seal in the bowl.
  • Plunge like you mean it!   Don’t be timid; you will not break anything.  
  • When the water starts to go down in the bowl, you can then turn the water back on under the toilet. 
  • Wait for the tank to fill back up and give the toilet a flush.
