If you spot these troubles with your toilet, don't wait around for them to go away
Running Toilet
One cause of a toilet running is a flapper that doesn't seal. If water from the tank seeps around the flapper and into the bowl, the flapper is probably shot.
Bend or adjust the toilet float arm so the tank stops filling when the water level is 1/2- to 1-in. below the top of the overflow pipe. If the fill valve still leaks, replace it.
Rocking Toilet
If your toilet isn't solidly fastened to the floor, there may be trouble in your future. Any movement of the toilet damages the wax seal. That leads to leaks and ultimately major repairs. To steady a rocking toilet, cut plastic shims to fit and slip them underneath. Then caulk around the toilet and snug down the nuts on the bolts.
Bang! Goes the Lid!
Slow close toilet seats work great at stopping the 'clank' when lowering the toilet seat. If you still hear the noise of the lid hitting the tank upon opening, put a vinyl bumper on the lid of the toilet tank. A toilet seat with a slow-close lid and vinyl bumpers are available at home centers or online.
JOMOO Smart Toilet Seat
If you want to solve this matter once and for all, choosing JOMOO smart toilet seat will be a wise choice. When you're done, it will flush itself and close the seat softly. In addition, it has a variety of spray modes and warm-air dryer to make every toilet time a pleasure.
Sluggish Toilet
If your toilet flushes slowly, the rinse holes under the rim may be clogged with mineral deposits. With a mirror and a coat hanger, you can clean out those clogged holes without ever getting your hands dirty.
Clogged Toilet
For about 90 percent of clogged toilets, you only need one special tool: a toilet plunger. A toilet plunger with an extension flange is designed to fit toilets better, so you can deliver more "oomph" to the plunge. The toilet plunger will unplug sink and tub drains, too, if you simply fold the flange back into the bell.
Toilet Not Caulked
Yes, the bathroom is a place to get clean, but it can easily be a place to trap some pretty foul smells. If you don't caulk a toilet to the floor, you could find yourself smelling leftover residue from smelly mop water, tub water, or even worse, the remnants of your son's potty training.
If you have encountered these problems, don't be afraid, you could nail it at all!
