FAQs
How do I know if I have an elongated toilet bowl?
Elongated toilet bowls are generally about 2-3 inches longer from front to back than round bowls. They typically measure around 18.5 inches from the mounting bolts to the front of the bowl.
Can I use bleach to clean the toilet seat?
It is not recommended to use bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the high-gloss finish over time. Mild soap and water are preferred for cleaning.
How often should I remove the seat for cleaning?
For optimal hygiene and maintenance, it's recommended to remove the seat for thorough cleaning at least once a month, or as needed.
What is the weight of the Bemis toilet seat?
The Bemis toilet seat weighs approximately 7.0 pounds.
Are the bolts and nuts plastic or metal?
The hardware, including bolts and wing nuts, is made of non-corrosive plastic to prevent rust and corrosion.
Does this seat come with a lid?
Yes, this product is a complete toilet seat set, which includes the seat, lid, and all necessary mounting hardware.
Troubleshooting
Seat wiggles after installation
Ensure the wing nuts are securely tightened. Check that the seat posts are correctly aligned with the toilet bowl mounting holes.
Hinges are difficult to unlock/lock
Ensure no debris is obstructing the hinge mechanism. Try gently wiggling the seat while pressing the release button. Clean the hinges with a damp cloth if necessary.
Finish appears dull or scratched
Cease using abrasive cleaners immediately. Clean with mild soap and water. Minor scratches may be less visible after cleaning, but deep scratches indicate damage to the enameled layer.
