yeah, don't push it through. The only thing that should go down a toilet is poop, pee and toilet paper people. I wouldn't do flushable wipes either. They don't break down like toilet paper, and I've found that many people think any kinds of wipes are flushable. I remodeled a bathroom for a lady, and she called me a few months after blaming it on me. She accused me of not insulating the waste lines and suspected they were frozen. We ran a snake in and started pulling out baby wipes. I looked under the sink and there was a costco box of baby wipes with only one pack left. At that point, I asked her if someone was flushing them, and she blamed it on her boyfriend. We pulled out two 5 gallon buckets of baby wipes.

I've seen stupider, had a lady once who was flushing newborn diapers down the toilet.

Unclogs toilets, sure. Magically makes things that should never be in the toilet in the first place go away, no. Paper towels don't break down. The only way is to remove them with some sort of mechanical device or vaccuum. Even if you manage to push them through, they will continue to cause problems further down the line.

Just take the toilet off the floor.

My kid has a habit of using too much paper. I have tried various methods. The one that worked the most consistant. As said above this just moves the problem further down the line, but solves it at the bowl side.

Take a normal floor mop, put the head inside a plastic bag, use string or cable tie to seal the top of the bag around the pole, keep the mop head from getting wet. Use this as a more substantial plunger, put warm water in the toilet , plunge and flush, has worked for me everytime so far.

I have a drain cleaner attachment for my pressure washer, i usually follow up with that down the sink and bath drains to break up anything remaining.

Thanks

Buy a closet auger. It is an inexpensive short snake with rubber to protect the bowl from marks. BTW don't mix vinegar and baking soda. While not dangerous, they just neutralize each other. They make bubbles, but that does nothing to clean or clear plumbing.
