I have tried everything to get rid of the smell. It smells like some one has used it, and didnt flush. I have tried the drop in deodorizers, including the bleach ones and it disguises it for a day or two but then it is right back even worse. How do you get rid of the smell? I have a housefull of people coming for Thanksgiving, and dont want them to smell it. Please help.

The seal under the toilet may have broken and has allowed waste to seep out. The only way to fix it is to lift the toilet. You need to disconnect the water line, lift the toilet, clean out the old wax ring, scrub and disinfect under the toilet, put in a new wax ring and replace the toilet. Wax rings cost 3 to 5 dollars at any hardware store.

add some bleach in the tank as well as the bowl and close the lid . And get one of those 2000 flush that you hand on the toilet.

does the water in the holding tank smell like that? is it just the water in the stool and not from the faucets that smell?city water or well water? does your drain for the stool have a trap? thats the u-shaped pipe that the crap flows through.if not it should have.could be your vent stack is clogged.sounds like you need an expert to look at it

pour a box of baking soda and some lemon juice down the toilet and let it sit overnight.
