How to unclog the toilet?
Using a plunger is the most straightforward technique to clear a blocked toilet, but there may be times when you need access to one. Stay calm if you don't have a plunger on hand and the toilet is clogged. Several techniques to clean the toilet; some include using essential home products you will probably already own. Plunger. Insert the plunger into the toilet bowl and gently push down to use this device. The initial effort is only to get rid of the air and push gently; otherwise, you risk splashing yourself with unclean water. Once a solid seal has been achieved, vigorously push the plunger down and up while maintaining the seal. To break the air seal, pull the tool forcefully up. The water will be seen pouring down the drain. Repeat the procedures if this only clears the obstruction once it does. Vinegar and Baking Soda. You undoubtedly already know that vinegar and baking soda work wonders for cleaning various surfaces, are excellent deodorizers, and assist in keeping our drains clear. Pour vinegar and baking soda cautiously and gently to avoid the toilet water overflowing or splashing since vinegar and baking soda typically react to create bubbles. Give the vinegar and baking soda combination a few minutes to work. To see if the obstruction has been eliminated, flush your toilet. Until the block is cleared, you should repeat the procedure. The obstruction has been removed when your toilet makes a quick suction sound and usually empties. The Snake. You can purchase a toilet snake for approximately $25. Buy it once to stop using chemicals. You may thread the practical tool and wrap it around till the obstruction is released. While a little dirty, this is preferable to using your hands. This procedure is helpful when the blockage is deeper than the bowl. Hot Water and Dish Soap. On the stove, heat a gallon of hot water. While the water is heating, pour some dish soap into your toilet. Pour the water into the toilet with caution when it is hot but not boiling. As the dish soap and hot water dissolve the clog, wait 10 to 15 minutes. When you do this, the toilet will flush easily and unclog. If you prefer not to leave your bathroom, an alternative is to flush your toilet with hot water and shampoo from the faucet.

Why Do My Lights Flicker?
If your lights are flickering, it can indicate a severe problem with your electrical systems. Flickering lights signal a potential issue with the wiring, the power supply to your house, or even a damaged light fixture. These problems could lead to an electrical fire or other dangerous situations. The most likely cause of flickering lights is loose connections in the circuitry or the light fixtures themselves. This could include poor wiring connections or corroded light switches and receptacle terminals. Loose connections can cause interruptions in the electrical current that cause flickering and dimming of lights when you turn them on or off. If this is the case, it's essential to shut off power to the affected circuit before attempting to fix it yourself.
