A roll of cling film can probably be found in any kitchen.

And this is not surprising - it is simply necessary when it comes to wrapping up a snack for the road, covering containers whose lids have long been lost, or getting rid of a clogged toilet.

Yes, yes, it turns out that cling film can act as a plunger.

But enough of useless theory – it’s time to get down to practice. We’ll tell you how to eliminate a blockage in a toilet using improvised means.

So, first you need to wrap the faience "throne" with cling film. You need to do this very carefully to get a thick layer of film. Its edges should be sealed with tape.

Important: the toilet seat must be in a raised position at this point to create a vacuum.

Once the first stage is over, feel free to press the flush button – as a result, you will see that the film has swelled.

Press down on the resulting “bubble” with your hands several times, and the accumulated air will do its job, pushing the blockage into the sewer.
