Here's a step-by-step guide to unblocking a toilet:

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply.
2. Use a plunger: Place the plunger over the clogged drain hole and push down slowly and steadily until you feel resistance. Hold for a few seconds and then lift up. Repeat this process several times.
3. Use a toilet auger: If the plunger doesn't work, try using a toilet auger (also known as a closet auger). Feed the auger into the drain hole and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
4. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then flush the toilet.
