Default removing toilet?

I would like to replace my toilet,but removing the tank is not too bad,but
I'm concerned about getting all the water that's trapped in the bowl,I have
to carry it through a carpeted area and my would wife shoot me if got water
on the carpet,it seems like you sponge all the water out,but there is always
a little left in bowl trap.Thanks for any suggestions.


Turn the supply valve off. Flush the toilet
(won't be much water left in it). Get all the
water out of the tank (towel and wringing it dry,
or whatever method you want to use). Remove the
the tank. Unbolt the toilet. Take it to the
shower/bath tub, hold it and rotate it so that
the remaining water runs/drips out the bottom.
Put it in a garbage bag and carry it out.
