Low Flow Situtation

We rented a big house during the weekend of my sons wedding. It was great and we filled it up with friends and family. A problem developed with toilet. Modern low-flow toilets tend to get plugged up more easily it seems to me.

So we kinda needed this to work again and I could not find a plunger. Since it was flowing a little, I decided to try the following. First, I filled up a trash can with hot water from the shower, then I carefully filled the bowl with this water up to somewhat near the brim. Next, I added a lot of liquid dish soap, maybe about 6 ounces. Then I left it alone. Here is a photo.


About 15 minutes later, I heard a whoosh sound. Problem solved. This may not always work but this time it did.
