My wife's toilet is a bit sluggish requiring the occasional use of a
plunger. It is an American Standard, 20 years old. Could someone point
me to a "how to" article on this subject or offer suggestions. I am
hoping that a Drano like product can be used.

Thanks in advance.

Muriatic Acid is a strong, corrosive, inorganic acid (HCl), manufactured by
absorbing hydrogen chloride in water. It is one of the most corrosive of
acids, and is particularly destructive to cellulose, breaking the cellulose
chain into even smaller units, resulting ultimately in its complete
hydrolysis. It is the same chemical as Hydrochloric Acid.

This link states NOT to use muriatic acid IF on a septic system. Said
to kill the necessary bacteria. Instead use a septic safe product.

Something not mentioned prior to your link.

Google muriatic acid toilet and get 36,000 hits.

Note the above about cellulose, If some paper is sticking, it will take
care of it.
