Toilet

Table of Contents

There are visible and hidden parts of a toilet.

When you do your business, you’ll often see the bowl at work.

However, other parts connect to home systems.

Plumbing and water sources are necessary to maintain the toilet.

The parts you don’t see do a lot of heavy work.

All parts of the toilet work connect to make a functional toilet.

Have you ever heard of a toilet siphon? The toilet bowl siphon is the mechanism of the toilet to flush.

It doesn’t matter how much water there is in the toilet.

It will never spill or fill the entire toilet unless something obstructs the bowl’s bottom part.

Anything that goes through the siphon flows away eventually after flushes.

There is an opening at the bottom of the bowl where all the waste leads.

Everything goes in this hollow space that never seems to fill.

Ways to clean toilet siphon

There are various parts of the toilet that hold a water supply.

You don’t only have a tank that has a water supply.

The rims and the jet hole are present to store water for the next flush.

You can clean the toilet siphon parts with items you already have.

It’s time to search your kitchen for some common items.

First, learn how to clean your toilet siphon, so you have a clean water supply.

Then, create your cleaning remedy for a clean siphon.

Turn off the water valve to prevent water supply. Drain the toilet of any water volume.
Open the toilet tank. Flush the toilet bowl until there is no water in the toilet tank. The remaining water volume will go through the siphon jets.
Create enough cleaning solution for the task. Get vinegar and warm water and mix equal parts of each. Put some in a spray bottle. Consider this method as a way on how to clean toilet jets using natural remedies.
Inside the toilet tank, there is a long vertical tube. The water inside the tank goes through this tube each time you flush. Pour the vinegar solution into the overflow tube inside the toilet tank.
Get a hand mirror, toothbrush, and wire. Check the underside of the toilet seat. There are holes there that are called toilet siphon jets.
Poke the holes around using the wire gently. This should take away the deposits, bacteria build-up, and molds inside the jets.
Spray the jets with the vinegar solution. Then, brush off each jet around the toilet bowl.
Let everything sit for about 30 minutes. This way, the vinegar takes effect.
Flush the toilet to get rid of the vinegar inside the overflow tube.
Turn on the water valve and refill the water inside the tank. Rinse off the vinegar by flushing the toilet multiple times.

Flush the toilet for an initial rim rinse. Let the toilet dry before cleaning.
Create enough baking soda paste for discoloration issues around the jets. Mix three parts of baking soda and one part of water.
Get a hand mirror, toothbrush, and wire. Check the rim under the toilet seat using the mirror.
Apply the baking soda paste on each jet under the toilet rim. Next, spread the paste on all parts of the underside of the rim using a toothbrush.
Use the toothbrush to scrub on the porcelain underside of the rim.
Scrape the inside of each jet gently using the wire. Clear out any deposits and mold build-up in the siphon jets.
Add more baking soda paste through the jet holes. It’s best if you go as high inside the siphon jets as possible. Cover all areas as much as possible with the paste.
Leave the bathroom for half an hour.
Flush the toilet to get rid of the baking soda under the rim.
Check under the toilet rim again using the mirror. Make sure no baking soda sits on the underside.
