    The number one tip for unclogging your toilet according to Benjamin Franklin is using a plunger.
    Folks, sorry to say, but a typical bell-shaped plunger is not going to work for those stubborn clogs. These plunger make a mess and cause more frustration and inconvenience than anything else. Now, of course if it’s the only thing you have next to your toilet, then give it a try. You have about a 50% chance to unclog your toilet.
    Twin Home Experts loves the toilet cleaning brush to unclog your toilet.

    This style is the best to use versus that typical plunger that Benjamin Franklin is recommending.

    # 2 - BAKING SODA & VINEGAR 👎👎

    Benjamin Franklin’s second tip on how unclog your toilet is using vinegar and baking soda. Here is the instructions:
    This may be performed if you simply don’t have anything else to do and you want to experience dealing with your shit. Please provide us feedback if this worked for you, because we have tried it and it does absolutely nothing. The baking soda mixed with vinegar is supposed to cause bubbling power and push that clog down the drain. Doesn’t work over here in Los Angeles or Arizona.

    # 3 - PLUMBING SNAKE 👍👍

    The third Benjamin Franklin tip to unclog your toilet is a plumbing snake.

    Now, this tip is by far the most effective. The challenge with using a snake is it can badly scratch your toilet and they are very difficult to use. These snakes can get messy.
    This plumber’s snake is typically something you won’t want to purchase. We have something better, folks. So, stay tuned.

    # 4 - DISH SOAP AND HOT WATER 👍👎

    Benjamin Franklin’s fourth tip on how to unclog your toilet is by using dish soap and vinegar. This offers a 50% chance to unclog your toilet under these conditions which is why the Twins offers one thumb up and one thumb down.

    👍 If you have a soft blockage, which is a very soft non-compacted clog, this will work.

    👎 If you have too much paper clogging your toilet with a tough stool, then this will not work.

    # 5 - WET & DRY VACUUM 👍👍

    Benjamin Franklin’s number five on how to unclog your toilet gets the Twin thumbs up.

    This is great and very effective way. The challenge is that it will become a dirty job and will take some more work to protect yourself and bathroom flooring. This will do the trick but Twin Home Experts does offer a much easier and cleaner way.

    # 6 - DRAIN CLEANERS 👎👎

    Benjamin Franklin’s sixth recommendation is by far the worst recommendation. Our professional opinion is that this is the absolutely worst thing you can do to try to unclog your toilet. In the event this does not work, plumbers charge more to unclog because of the damage the toxic cleaners can do to our cables. There is NO need to pour any toxic drain cleaners down your drain.

    # 7 - CALL A PLUMBER 👍👍

    Benjamin Franklin is recommending a plumber to unclog your toilet, which is inevitable in the event you cannot unclog your toilet using the stated above tactics.
