Because of the comments about the wax ring seal, I made a video about diagnosing and replacing a wax ring seal: th-cam.com/video/SDM_RUrDWYw/w-d-xo.html Thanks for Watching! 🪠
One should caulk around like you did; however one should not caulk all the way around. Leave about 4-7 inches uncaulked in the back so if the wax ring is leaking, it will show in the back. If it is completely caulked all the way around, that wetness from the wax ring leak will stay under the toilet and ruin the floor and sub floor and leak below. Then you have a bigger mess.
This CAN be an issue. In that case you would have a strong sewer gas smell not just an old urine smell. I actually have a video where the wax ring seal was the problem for another toilet (th-cam.com/video/G6dRDPVLCbs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CkUaRTitX9SqR05i). As you can see in this video, there was urine on the paper towel, and adding the silicone has prevented more urine from getting trapped and solved the issue. I did not add silicone to the back of the toilet, so if it was the wax ring seal it would have still smelled. Btw, I am a plumber.
Use Baking soda when cleaning. You should clean it out the best you can, then put baking soda in stinky areas, then seal it. Baking soda eliminates all stinky smells. It is good for personal use, too.
There are a few reasons why you may have bad smells in your bathroom. This is a less obvious one to consider. Hopefully this helps and thanks for watching! ❤
I disagree. When the toilet flushes, some water squirts UP...Then with the lid down water squirts up and gets on the lid and gets on the toilet seat and then the toilet seat is wet and then it mildows and then you sit on it and just say no!
I think you should start every video by saying, “ hi I’m June the plumber” or such. I wouldn’t have known until I saw it in the comments. It adds to your credibility. Just a thought.
Even if am given 1million naira, i would never agree to place my hands 👌👌👌👌 on my toilet 🚽🪠 floor!! Even if i wash it at the moment i would not. Huh🙄 So disgusting!
You bring up a good point, and I completely understand feeling that way! When we deal with sanitary waste, there are lots of potential germs that can get you sick! Sanitizing the area, keeping your hands away from your face, and proper handwashing practices are very important! However, if you are still uncomfortable with making direct contact with certain things, definitely wear gloves if that is an available option!

Its the wax seal broken under the toilet . It has to be replaced by a plumber or you could remove the toilet and reset it with a new wax seal.

You can also use shaving cream on the floor around the toilet to help eliminate the pee smell. Doesn't take much, then wipe down with wet rag.
I would never think to use shaving cream! Thanks for sharing 💖

I am NOT an expert on cleaning, haha. Great suggestion! Thanks!

A good spray of white vinegar around that rim would also probably help, and also get rid of any impacted mold.
Good job and I am going to do that
Thank you! Make sure to leave a gap in the back when you apply the caulk.
Do not do that.
June jay I had a neighbor who weight was 500 pounds He was the king of the overflos He seemed proud
🫢😅
The number 1 cause of pee smell is make sure after you pee is KEEP THE TOILET LID CLOSE WHEN FLUSHING!!! That helps alot.😊
Good point! Strong flushes send droplets out of the toilet 🙂↕️

Thanks for the suggestion! Perhaps I will make sure to do that for any videos I make related to my trade 😅
I'm pissed about this.lol
😂
I think I would have used clorox to clean it out!
That’s a good choice! Can’t go wrong with bleach ☺️
