A blocked toilet can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience, especially if you're not prepared. When a toilet becomes clogged, it's usually due to a blockage in the pipes that prevents water from flowing freely. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including excess toilet paper, sanitary products, or other debris.

To clear a blocked toilet without a plunger, you'll need the following items:

• A wire coat hanger
• Hot water
• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• A bucket or container

1. Turn off the water supply: If the toilet is still filling with water, turn off the supply by locating the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turning it clockwise.
2. Remove excess water: Use a bucket or container to scoop out as much water as possible from the toilet bowl.
3. Create a makeshift tool: Unhook the wire coat hanger and straighten it out. This will be used to try and dislodge the blockage.
4. Insert the wire: Carefully insert the wire into the toilet drain and try to feel for the blockage. Gently manipulate the wire to try and dislodge the clog.
5. Pour hot water: Pour hot water down the toilet drain to help loosen the blockage.
6. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the toilet drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. The mixture will fizz and help break down the blockage.
7. Wait: Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes to allow it to work its way through the blockage.
8. Flush: Once the mixture has had time to work, flush the toilet to see if the blockage has been cleared.

To prevent future blockages, it's essential to be mindful of what you flush down the toilet. Avoid flushing excess toilet paper, sanitary products, or other debris that can cause clogs. Regularly cleaning your toilet and drain pipes can also help prevent blockages.
