Cleaning and Caring for Plumbing Fixtures
Toilets (Water Closets)
- To clean the bowl - use a 'toilet bowl cleaner' and a toilet bowl brush
- Please note that there is a special finish offered on some toilet models is described as a non-porous finish which makes it difficult for mold, mildew and bacteria to adhere itself to the finish. The finish itself is not self-cleaning. Regular maintenance is required on this finish as well.
- To stop running water, check to ensure that the flapper is closed. If the flapper looks like it is closed, follow these steps:
- Turn off the water at the supply stop, usually located on the left side of the water closet near the baseboard
- Remove the tank lid
- Clean the flapper with a wet cotton cloth or a paper towel
- Turn the water on at the supply stop
- Wait for the tank to fill with water and shuts off
- Flush the water closet
- Watch the tank fill and make sure it shuts off
- Replace the tank lid
