Tips to take care of your toilet:

Only flush toilet paper and your own waste down your toilet. cotton swabs, wipes, paper towels and other things will eventually clog your pipes.

Make sure your toilet is working properly. If your toilet is running, parts need to be replaced.

Some toilet leaks do not make noise. To check for leaks, you can put a little food color in the tank (make sure you use a color that will not stain the tank). After a half hour check your bowl. If any color ran into the bowl, you have a leak.
