4. Unclogging the toilet

Unclogging the toilet can be a hellish chore. Luckily, dish soap is your saviour in this case. Pour a generous dash of dish soap into the clogged toilet; it will slowly sink to the bottom. Next, pour in hot water (but not boiling – this can damage the porcelain of the toilet bowl) until the entire bowl is filled. Wait for 20 to 30 minutes so the dish soap and the water can do their job. The water will find its way around the blockage and the water level will slowly go down. You can now flush the toilet and the blockage will be gone.
