You can use bleach to unclog a toilet, but there are much more effective (and less noxious) ways to unclog a toilet. For instance, you can pour 1 cup (240 mL) of baking soda, 1 gallon (3.8 L) of boiling water, and 2 cups (470 mL) of white vinegar into the toilet. Make sure you pour the vinegar very carefully, and pay close attention to the reaction between the vinegar and baking soda so that it doesn’t fizz over the toilet bowl. Let it sit for at least 2 hours and give it a flush to see if the clog clears. If you only have bleach, pour 2 cups (470 mL) of it into the toilet and wait 10 minutes. That'll give the bleach time to work on the clog. You may want to clear the room or open up some windows to increase the circulation. You can then try flushing the toilet to see if it clears the clog. If it doesn't, place a plunger over the hole in the toilet bowl and give it a few good plunges. When you hear a suction noise and see the water level lowering, then flush the toilet.
