Toilet Not Holding Water Seal


Our toilet bowl has not been holding the water seal this trip. I have scrubbed and cleaned to no avail. This morning I suddenly recalled that white vinegar had cured the problem before. I put in one ounce and saw improvement. So I repeated it. Much better. Dorothy suggested adding baking soda – what could it hurt – so I did. Problem solved.

Yes, cleaning with a good brush, especially between the seal and fixure, is always good. So is letting the lever go once in a while, rather than gently letting it return. But for sure results pour in an ounce of white vinegar to eat the scale off.
