HOW TO USE A PLUNGER

It’s bad enough you have a clog, but then you have to figure out how to use a plunger. 

First and foremost, ensure you wear gloves! You don't want anything splashing on your hands. It's also wise to have a face shield. I've experienced toilet water splashing on my face—disgusting. 

Ensure there is enough water in the bowl to submerge the bottom part of the plunger. It's important to have a good seal between the toilet and the plunger. If necessary, add some water.

Keep towels nearby to clean up any water when the clog clears. Position the plunger in the bowl, ensuring it fills with water to create a strong suction at the drain opening. Begin with a few pushes on the plunger to remove any trapped air (just testing your strength, kidding).

After achieving a tight seal, pump vigorously up and down about 10-12 times; it might feel like a workout. When your arm gets tired, lift the plunger to assess the progress. 

If the water level is low, flush the toilet to ensure the clog is cleared. If the water level remains the same or rises after flushing, repeat the process until the clog is cleared or you are unable to do so. If the clog persists, it may be more severe, and you should call a plumber!
