1. Why would you need to clean a new seat?

2. You wouldn’t. That was a toilet “thing” not a seat “thing”. Installing a new seat requires you to get down on the floor next to the toilet, and work for 20 minutes or so with your face less than a foot away from the bowl, it’s just nicer to remove all the ick and eww and malodorous causes from the toilet and the surrounding area first.

   It’s like working on guns. Darned if every single task starts out the same way: “making sure that the gun is unloaded, blah blah blah”. It’s just a good practice.

   Any luck on the Google-fu?

5. I just saw this posted at Insta-guy and thought it would entertain the gang here:
   One day shortly after the Second World War ended, Winston Churchill and Labour Party Prime Minister Clement Attlee encountered one another at the urinal trough in the House of Common’s men’s washroom. Attlee arrived first. When Churchill arrived, he stood as far away from him as possible. Attlee said, “Feeling standoffish today, are we, Winston?” Churchill said: “That’s right. Every time you see something big, you want to nationalize it.”

7. Sorry, no crapper clapper. I would not be at all surprised if those amazing Japanese electronical Toilets of Happiness seats didn’t have sonic activation. The things are like a day spa, just for your pampered little bottom. Warm air, background music, spray, rinse, wax, buff. They’ve got it all. And it will cost you big time.

   Some day, you will replace a toilet seat. Unless you’re one of those nose in the air types who hires a plumber to do a basic job like that. And when you do, you’ll think “Aha, Drew was right about these damn bolts!” And with your face scrunched down between the side of the bowl and the side of the tub, trying to twist around to see where that damn thing is so you can grab it with your pliers without pinching your fingers AGAIN!, you’ll know why I said to clean things first. And maybe you’ll put in a good Church seat, which you’ll appreciate once or twice a day for a whole bunch of years.

   Another holy cow moment - Lowe’s charges $200 to have their guy come and install a toilet. Man oh man, I’ve been charging $50, $75 plus parts if I have to replace the flange boss. I work too cheap.

9. I usually use silicon tub sealing compound around the bolts on the seat.. I’ve had the same bolts for 3 years now.. It takes a bit of work to replace them, but in the long run, it’s a lot better than having them spontaneously break at 3AM after a nights libations.

   Just have to be careful to get the sealant in all the cracks..
