Note that this can be incredibly gross, but it is also highly effective, which is why we suggest you try it. First, cut the bottom off of a large plastic bottle. Then, make sure you have your rubber gloves and old clothes on and line the floor with newspaper to catch the filthy overflow. You can leave the lid on the bottle, slide your thumb over the top, or cover it with plastic wrap and a rubber band to create a seal. Now, push the bottle, open-end down, into the toilet and forcefully plunge it up and down.
Make sure the bottle remains entirely underwater. The vacuum you create should pull the clog out and back into the main drain. Simply pour a mug of baking soda, followed by two mugs of vinegar, into the toilet. Let it bubble for 30 minutes or so, then flush. Sometimes a clog is just so large or so deep that nothing you do can remove it. You can seem to unclog the toilet fine sometimes, but not other times.
