The short answer is you’ll want to retrieve it with a snake, stiff wire, or a wet vac/shop vac. 
If you’ve never flushed anything down the toilet you didn’t mean to then you’ve never lived. In fact one of the most common calls we get for toilets is where someone’s accidentally flushed something down the toilet. Usually it’s blocks or kids toys, a wash cloth, or a Clorox Toilet Wand. The toilet wands seem to make their way to being flush because the release accidentally gets hit when your flushing or because someone cleaning with the wand doesn’t realize that they are not flushable. In the event that you do accidentally flush a Clorox Toilet wand, you will want to make every effort to retrieve it. Even if it looks like water if flowing down as you flush, they actually can get stuck in the trap of your toilet and cause clogs later on after you’re trying to flush a number two.

Even though it’s very tempting to leave the house and run errands with the washer or dryer running, you’re setting yourself up for risk of floods and fire.
