Methods to Eliminate Clogs in Eastern and Western Toilets
The following techniques prove effective for unclogging Eastern and Western toilets:
Dish Soap

Drain Snake
You can utilize a drain snake to clear clogs in toilets and drain pipes. For clogs caused by hair or sanitary pads, these materials must be either extracted from the toilet pipe or directed using specialized snakes.
Clothes Hanger
To unclog a Western toilet, you will need a clothes hanger. Unravel the hanger and securely cover its tip with a cloth. Insert it into the pipe and maneuver it around the pipe’s walls. Make sure the cloth is tightly attached to avoid it detaching and getting jammed. Strike the toilet pipe a few times with the wire.
Then turn on the water with high pressure or flush the tank to clear the clog from the Western toilet. This method is akin to using a drain snake.
Hot Water
If dish soap doesn’t do the trick, hot water might be beneficial. Fill a bucket with hot water (boiling water can crack ceramic toilets) and pour it into the toilet. The force of the water can assist in breaking down any residues causing the blockage.
Wiring
For tougher clogs, you can utilize wire; push it into the clogged area to dislodge and free the remaining debris.
Plastic Wrap and Tape
To unblock a Western toilet, tightly cover the toilet bowl with a large plastic bag and cut any excess material. Use tape to seal the plastic around the toilet bowl to ensure that no air can escape or enter.
Next, press the flush button. When you do, the plastic bag will inflate. Put your palm on the bag and push down repeatedly until the blockage clears, then rinse the toilet. If the bag doesn’t inflate, it means air is escaping, so tape that area securely or unveil it, dry it with a cloth, and re-tape. You can also do this method using plastic wrap.
