To Unclog Toilet — Hanger

I recently faced a slow-draining toilet (not completely blocked, but water rose to the rim). With no plunger available, I sacrificed a standard thin-gauge dry cleaning hanger.

The process transforms a standard laundry room staple into a makeshift . By unraveling a wire hanger and straightening it out, you create a flexible yet firm probe. To protect the porcelain from scratches, it is helpful to wrap the "hook" end in a small rag or duct tape. You then feed the wire into the drain, using a gentle prodding or twisting motion to break up the mass or push it through the S-bend. Why It Works

Did something get dropped in (like a toy or a wipe)? Is the water draining slowly or not at all?
