If you do not have a plunger on hand, you can unclog a toilet in minutes using hot water and liquid dish soap. Squirt a generous amount of liquid dish soap directly into the bowl, followed by a gallon of hot (not boiling, to prevent porcelain cracking) tap water. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the soap to lubricate the pipe and break down paper fibers. Alternatively, you can pour a bucket of water from waist height into the bowl to force the blockage through. Verification: Watch the water level drop and test a gentle flush to confirm the pipe is clear.
