Huge spider lurking under toilet proves why we should flush before use - Toilet Replacement Lids - Toilet Tips - This Old Toilet 800-658-4521

Ah, the toilet. Our own personal fortress of solitude where nothing and no one can harm or judge us. Right?

WRONG.

NO TOILET IS SAFE.

We were terrified enough when snakes took over our bathrooms, but this massive spider in the toilet makes us want to hold it forever and never go into a bathroom again.

Yes, of course the YouTuber's first instinct is to flush the huge arachnid down. You might even feel bad as you watch the spider recoil and begin to... NOPE IT'S NOT DEAD KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT.

Dress up your bathroom with a skirted toilet - Toilet Replacement Lids - Toilet Tips - This Old Toilet 800-658-4521

A skirted toilet is similar to a concealed trapway toilet, and to help understand this, we’ll start with the basics.

Standard toilets have what is called an exposed trapway, because you can actually see the built-in outline of the toilet bowl and the trapway.

Now, if you’re looking to make the job of cleaning your toilet bowl a little easier, you can move up to a concealed trapway toilet. Concealed trapway toilets feature smooth sides in back of the bowl, and the outline of the trap and trap drain are now hidden.

A skirted toilet bowl takes this design feature a step further and offers a continuous clean-looking smooth surface from the front of the bowl to the back of the bowl. Hence the name, because now the bowl can be thought of as being completely skirted.

Keep in mind that skirted toilet bowl prices and installation costs can be higher. But, with perfectly smooth sides, a skirted toilet bowl can do double duty because it’s easy to clean and adds design style to your bathroom.

Toilet Replacement Lids - Confusing unisex toilet signs in Swedish library throw visitors off balance - This Old Toilet 800-658-4521

Some visitors to the new public library in a northern Swedish town of Umeå received a real culture shock when they failed to properly read signs to the unisex toilets in the gender equal country.

A sign hanging between the toilet doors showed a male and a female figure, with arrows pointing in both directions, local media reported. “You usually look for a man or a woman, but here they've got both symbols,” one library visitor, Ida Lundström, complained to Swedish public broadcaster SVT, the Local reported.

While some remained at a loss, others rushed to take an advantage of an opportunity.

“I think it's great. Otherwise the men's toilet is usually available but there's a line to the ladies," Åsa Ågren Wikström told SVT.

Meanwhile, the library's section head said the arrows on the new sign actually show that you can use either toilet. “The arrows don't mean that women should go left and men right," Maria Westerlund explained.

GLOWING TOILET STICKERS AIM TO HELP MEN PUT SEAT DOWN - Toilet Replacement Lids - Toilet Tips - This Old Toilet 800-658-4521

TO HELP MEN PUT SEAT DOWN

A couple have developed stickers to illuminate the toilet seat to avoid a common bathroom issue

A couple out of Pasadena, California, has created something that can potentially save relationships and marriages one butt at a time.

They created a device to help the fellows put the toilet seat down.

Their invention is called Potty Glo. It's made up of a mineral that glows in the dark which attaches to your toilet seat. The goal: to avoid those accidental midnight falls into the toilet.

Laughing, Alex Pi, co-founder of Potty Glo, said, "If this saves but one more butt, then I'll consider myself successful."

Right now, Potty Glo is only in the prototype stage.

The couple is hoping to bowl over potential investors on Kickstarter looking for cash to mass produce the luminescent stickers.

Toilet Replacement Lids - Toilet Tips - This Old Toilet 800-658-4521

~ If you replace your entire toilet, check with your water company to see if they offer Ultra Low Flush rebates.

~ If your toilet tank lid has broken or chipped edges, take a fine file and carefully smooth down the sharp edges. Or remove the lid and do not use it.

~ Secure toilet tank lids in public or institutional environments with silicone. Apply clear silicone caulking between the bottom of tank lid and the face of the tank. When access to the inside of the tank is required, cut the silicone with a razor or knife.

~ If you have a five year old living with you, show them what's inside the toilet tank before they try to look on their own. Yup - sold another lid today to replace one broken by a curious toddler.

~ If your toilet seat won't hold in the up position, try these two remedies: Gently slide the toilet tank lid back on the tank as far as it will go and/or loosen the toilet seat mounting nuts and move the seat as far forward as it will go...retighten nuts.

~ Do not sit on the closed cover of your toilet seat. It was not designed to be a chair or stool. Do not stand on the cover or rim of your toilet seat. (Unless you want to buy a new one.) They were not designed nor intended for that much weight. Plus the risk of injury from slip-and-fall.

~ When working with hand tools on the wall or ceiling above a toilet, close the top on the seat and put covering such as towels or blankets over the tank lid. ...Enough to protect from impact if a tool or hardware is dropped. Padded moving blankets are best.
