Have you ever needed to use a plunger? It is an amazing tool for cleaning out a clog without using chemicals or getting the help of a plumber, but using it the right way could make a huge difference in how efficient it is.
The main thing to be careful with is how much pressure you exert when using a plunger. Too much pressure could potentially damage your pipes, so don’t overdo it. You should also avoid using chemicals if you are going to plunge the toilet since you could end up splashing corrosive chemicals in your face.
Before you start using the plunger, make sure that the water level is just right. Too high and you will have contaminated water splashing on the floor, and if the water level is too low on the other hand, plunging won’t be as effective. You should also fill up the plunger with water to work correctly. After getting the plunger firmly sealed around the drain, slow, rhythmic pumping will dislodge even difficult clogs.
