## 2. Use Hot Water and Dish Soap
The heat helps dissolve grease or soap buildup, while dish soap acts as a lubricant to ease the clog through the pipes.
**How to do it:**
* Pour about half a cup of dish soap into the toilet bowl.
* Heat up a gallon of water until very hot but not boiling.
* Carefully pour the hot water into the bowl from waist height to create pressure.
* Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then flush.
This tip is great for minor blockages caused by greasy or sticky waste.

## 3. The Manual Plunger Method — The Natural Way
A plunger is often the quickest and most straightforward tool for clearing blockages without chemicals.
**How to do it right:**
* Use a flange plunger designed specifically for toilets.
* Ensure there’s enough water in the bowl to cover the plunger’s rubber cup.
* Push the plunger down gently to create a seal, then pump vigorously a few times.
* After several pumps, pull the plunger away quickly to force the clog to move.
* Repeat if necessary, then flush.
For an added natural boost, combine this with the baking soda and vinegar treatment before plunging.
