Can I use bleach to clean the seat?

Troubleshooting
Seat slams shut loudly.
Ensure the hinges are clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, the soft-close mechanism may be faulty, and replacement may be necessary.
Seat is loose after installation.
Re-tighten the top-fix bolts securely. Ensure the bolts are correctly positioned in the toilet pan holes and the wing nuts are fully tightened.
