  Apply plunger
  
  After inserting the plunger, apply it by compelling it up and down. Do this for around half a minute. In the end you will hear a whooshing when the water will out of the whole. If you hear the water is still moving then insert the plunger again. Flush the toilet and if you see bubbles again then proceed to the next round.

  Use closet auger
  
  You should use a closet or toilet auger in order to clear the stubborn clog. Guide the tube down the hole and turn the crank until it gets tight in one direction. Tighten it in the other direction by turning it on the other side. Crank it in the centre and pull the tube out. Flush the toilet and in case it bubbles again, repeat the previous steps.
