  • Question
    How can I keep the toilet bowl from staining when it's not in use for long periods of time?
    Community Answer
    Try turning off the supply valve and removing the toilet bowl's water after a full flush. Then, shove a slightly oversized ball into the bottom of the toilet, to keep sewer gases out when the water's gone.

    Why is it every time I clean the toilet, a few days later it starts getting dirty in the bowl?
    Community Answer
    See if there is dirt inside the tank. You can buy tank cleaner at home improvement stores.
