better to pull the toilet, do the acid treatmenty outdoors, flush well with hose, and replace toilet. when doing toliet, I always flush repeatedly at least 10 times afterward. you could also tape all the drain holes shut and use vinegar oivernite. frankly ithe acid is quick easy cheap and effective ========== Yes, it works very well, and is easy and cheap. As I said before, I had all the lines snaked by Roto-somebody, at a cost of close to $300.00 and still the toilet wasn't running freely. After your treatment, it was like a "miracle in a bowl" LOL and the toilet really is sparkling clean afterward with all that gunk out of those little holes. The only thing that you have to be careful about is not splashing on yourself, and as you say open the window. I put a portable fan in the bathroom before I started, opened the window, and turned the fan on on my way out. Really, not much smell left at all afterwards. Cheri |

![]() Cheri So what do you do with the left over acid?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - save for future use? flush it down the drain? give to a friend for his or her toilet? besides you can buy small containers and its cheap. its not a violent reaction, muriatic acid is also used to clean brick |
