Recently I discovered a small amount of water behind the toilet bowl. Paper towels weren’t helpful. So I continued to watch and feel around the toilet. After considerable watching, I discovered that the culprit was the 11 year old spray nozzle. After using the sprayer, it would dribble a small amount of water before stopping.
I thought the solution was a new sprayer and hose, which I didn’t have. So I decided to soak the spray nozzle in vinegar then rinse and do a second vinegar soak and rinse. Not only did this fix the leak, but the spray is much stronger than in recent years. Today is the 3rd day after the vinegar soak routine and all is well in and around Mr. Crapper. 😇

Thomas J. ... would be proud of you, Ed.

Nice work, Ed. And on that topic, it's worth noting that National Vinegar Day is celebrated every year on November 1st, in honor of "the amazing properties and uses of Vinegar in our everyday life." Mark your calendars! ;-)
