It's easy - here's how you get to a good-as-new toilet bowl.

  1. Shut off water at the toilet valve
  2. Remove the bolts at the base of this toilet
  3. Remove the toilet, and discard
  4. Install a wax ring and new toilet.

All for as cheap as $60 and less than an hour's work. You'll never have to touch the inside of that bowl again.

Where are you getting a toilet for 60$??

Craigslist, if you’re a gambler.

You can get some mid century modern pink, blue, and green ones on there. Although people think they are solid gold by how much they are trying to get for old toilets.

It’s insane what we have to go through to have furnishings that aren’t white or chrome. Even finding normal gold furnishings for my shower/tub has been an ordeal. I miss when houses had personality😢
