Over the years the toilet has started to flush a little slower. Toilet is
10yrs old, no foreign objects in the toilet.

I cleaned the rim jets with a coat hanger, plenty of water in the tank,
flapper working as it should.

I used a hand auger seemed to help a bit.

The toilet in the master bed room that is on the same line flushes fine,
there almost side by side.



I read this post.

Comments please.

Now it was necessary to bring out the big guns ... Muriatic Acid. But
first
a few more words of caution. READ all the directions and precautions
written
on the container before you leave the hardware store. If you have any
questions or doubts about using the product ... ask for help. I would
suggest you wear protective gloves and safety glasses.

1) Turn off the water supply to the toilet.
2) Flush the toilet to empty the tank. Using a sponge, remove as much
water
as you can from the tank and bowl.
3) From a one-gallon container of Muriatic Acid (BE CAREFUL !!! Follow all
precautions written on the label) pour a couple of ounces down the
overflow.
4) Pour the entire remainder of the gallon into the bowl.
5) Cover the tank and bowl openings with plastic wrap.
6) Let everything sit for 24 hours.
7) After 24 hours, turn on the water supply.
8) Flush.
9) Remove the plastic wrap. Magic! Swirling like crazy.
