🏡 Week 26 Home Check Reminder


Welcome to Week 26 of the Weekly Home Check

This week, we’re tackling a spot that’s easy to overlook—the toilet tank! While most people regularly clean the bowl and exterior, the tank often gets missed.

đźš˝ Toilet Bowl Tank:

Over time, mineral deposits, mold, and mildew can build up inside the tank. This can lead to unpleasant odors, discoloration of the water, and potential damage to the toilet's internal components. The tank should be cleaned 1-2 times a year.

  1. Turn Off the Water Supply: Turn the shut-off valve clockwise to stop the water flow.
  2. Flush the Toilet: Flush to drain, then use a cup, sponge or towel to remove any remaining water.
  3. Apply Cleaning Solution: Pour white vinegar into the tank and let it sit for overnight.
  4. Scrub the Interior: Use a brush to scrub the inside of the tank. Be gentle around the internal components to avoid damage.
  5. Rinse and Refill: Turn the water back on and flush the toilet a few times to rinse out the tank and remove any remaining cleaner.
  6. Consider using a toilet tank tablet to help keep tank and toilet bowl fresh in between cleans.
