Professor Toilet 101

Hello, my name is Professor Toilet. Welcome to my online classroom. I am here to help you learn about the toilet and the science behind how it works. In Flushology, the syllabus is simple. The content here will help you understand:

1. The science (hydraulics) behind a really good flush.
2. The greening of toilet flushing
3. How to fix problems when the laws of physics are over-ruled by a poorly engineered toilet that results in clogging, leaking, ghost flushing and other stress-inducing symptoms.

Browse the site, educate yourself and happy flushing.

    Toilet Cleaning Chemistry

    Yes, of course it’s easier to drop in a little tablet into the toilet tank than to get on your hands and knees to clean a toilet.

    The problem is, it’s not the right kind of care.  It can actually shorten the lifespan of many toilets.   It is easier to go to bed without flossing, too, but you do it rather than shorten the lifespan of your teeth.

    The best materials for toilet cleaning are:
    - A non-abrasive powder or cleaner
    - A toilet brush
    - Rags
    - An open window for ventilation

    To help limit your toilet cleaning time, look for toilets where science has delivered some relief.  American Standard pioneered the EverClean permanent anti-microbial surface on the inside and outside of many toilet model.  Fired into the china, EverClean inhibits the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew on surfaces.
