I've had a stubbornly clogged toilet and finally bought a toilet auger. I tried using it yesterday, and after a lot of pushing and cranking I saw the tip of the auger coming back into to the toilet bowl. Getting it out was a fight!
Now I'm trying it again, being careful not to push too hard so it doesn't just turn around on me again. But after I push it in about a foot I can't get it to go any farther -- when I push it just bounces back. I can't seem to snag anything either, and all I hear is metal scraping on porcelain.
This just means it's not getting around a bend in the toilet, right? Is there a trick to getting it through?
Thanks for any help, I'm desperate!
