Check connections, clean fixtures, and apply finishing or protective coatings to preserve months' worth of shine and functionality.

Your toilet handle might not come back up if the nut is loose or the bolt threads are stripped. Try to tighten the mounting nut and wrap plumber’s tape around the handle bolt to fix stripped threads.

You should choose the type of toilet that meets your budget, fits properly in your space, and matches the rest of your decor. If you’ve never gone toilet shopping before, you might be surprised at how many options are available.

However, dual-flush and low-flush toilets are becoming more prevalent as more people become conscious of water consumption.
