Turn off the water to the toilet and flush it. Remove the tank
lid, exposing the insides. Raise the flapper valve and either
remove it temporarily or tie it back. Pour EITHER (not both) of a
can of Draino or Muriatic acid into the opening, being careful to
not let it get into the tank in general. Wait an hour or two.
Let the flapper loose, or replace it. Turn the water back on, let
the tank fill and flush it a couple times.

What do
I need to do to fix my toliet?

Thank you!

Go to a hardware store and ask in the plumbing area for a toilet
snake
and ask them if they can give you a quick demonstration of how
to use
it,. You rotate the snake while pushing it down the toilet. It
will
eventually unclog whateve is in there. It could be almost
anything,
from a sock that got flushed down unknowingly to a toy soldier a
kid
flushed.

You could also try a toilet plunger, you put it over the botton
of the
toiket and move it up and down. Again the hardware store and
ask them
to show you how to use it.

You must have led a very pampered life to never have seen either
of
these common tools in use.
