Toilet

SIKSUKR · 05-13-2016, 11:45 AM

There are no "seals" to keep wet in a toilet. The wax ring is your seal on the waste side and certainly needs no water to stay ok. One problem trying to put water to soak a little above the ring is that the bowl will only fill so full to the level of the trap and then go down the drain. On stubborn stains that need soaking I find I need to keep that area wet by using the brush to wet it. I've also had luck using a rag that will cover that area and with absorbtion it will stay wet
