One of the best ways to clear a clogged condensate drain in a central air conditioner is to use a wet/dry vacuum. Attach the vacuum to the drain line and create a seal, then turn on the vacuum to suck out any debris causing the clog. Another method is to use a wire brush or a long, flexible brush to physically remove the clog by pushing it through the drain line. In some cases, using a mixture of hot water and vinegar can help dissolve the clog and clear the drain.

A plumber will unclog a blocked toilet. Due to the expense of calling a plumber you would be advised to try and clear the blockage yourself using a plunger or a plumbing snake to push the blockage through the toilet outlet.( A plumbing snake can be fashioned from a wire coat hanger). Another way to clear a clogged toilet is with baking soda and vinegar which is added to the toilet bowl and can help to clear blockages.

It really depends on a few things, where the clog is(is it in the toilet itself or in the "stack" below the toilet that runs into the sewer system and what is causing the clog. For lack of a better way of saying it, if it is toilet paper or a large #2 then a plunger will usually do the trick.

What can you do if your central air has water condensing all over but the drain going outside is clear?
Depending on your installation, I'd say two things: either your condensate drain pipe is clogged, or it does not have the proper pitch and is not draining by gravity. (Or if you have a condensate pump, it's not working) Sounds like you may have a loose or missing piece of insulation on the inside of the unit and the exterior of the cabinet/ductwork is getting too cold and is sweating as a result.
