Take rag and wrap it until you get a shape of a ball. Then insert it to the bottom of the toilet bowl until it completely blocking the pipe.

How do I keep my new clogs clean??
I just got these new clogs today, and they’re getting dirty FAST! What kinda shoe spray can I put on it to keep it from getting dirty?
Would I be able to find it at WalMart?
well what type of clogs are they?? If they are crocs, I usually stick mine in the washing machine or wash them in the kitchen sink with soap and water..they don’t absorb the liquid or the soap. If they are the imitaton crocs, you can clean them the same way. They also make what’s called croc butter. This you rub on the crocs to keep them conditioned and looking new..you could use it on wal-mart clogs too i suppose. If the clogs are made of leather, try any sort of leather shoe conditioner.And if they are made of tennis shoe type material, try some shoe polish. i also wash my tennies in the washing machine too, but air dry them cuz they’ll shrink in the dryer. Drying isn’t really necessary for the crocs, they are dry in seconds after coming out of the wash..or towel dry them. Hope this helps!
