Pour 1 cup baking soda into the bowl.

3. The Wire Hanger Snake (DIY Drain Rod)
Best for: Clogs close to the surface
🔁 How It Works:
A bent wire hanger acts like a manual auger to hook or break up the clog.
🔧 Steps:
Straighten a wire coat hanger, leaving a small hook at one end.
Wrap the handle end in cloth for grip.
Gently feed the hook into the drain and twist/push to dislodge the clog.
Flush to test.
🛠️ Caution: Be gentle — scratching porcelain can lead to future clogs.

Best for: Stubborn clogs that won’t budge
🔁 How It Works:
Uses strong suction to pull the clog out — like a super-powered plunger.

Check if water drains. Repeat if needed.
💡 Tip: Remove excess water first if the bowl is too full.
