well pulling up the toilet and sending an auger through should break it up . if you do put an auger through check the tip of it to see if there is any soap on the tip to make sure its not stuck in the waste itself. A coat hanger isnt going to get through the whole S of the trap.

Use buckets of very hot water poured directly into the bowl, it could take awhile. :(

p.s. go very slow you don't to melt the wax ring. :oops:

Soap will disolve in water after a while anyways, so it shouldnt be a problem. I wouldnt pull up the toilet, I would just use the auger to try and break it up, and wait it out.

Pull the toilet and physically pull the blockage from the bottom of the toilet or call a licensed plumber to do this sometimes tough job. :D

I suggest that you call a professional plumber. This job is a tough one for you to handle. You might break your toilet instead.

Try some white vinegar, baking soda and warm water. :D

Might not work very well but sure makes everything smell a little better. 8)
