videos - top 10 Maintenance issues you can fix in 1 minute
I almost laughed out loud when I read your video description stating "95% of people don't know how to flush the toilet properly"! Yeah right! I'm 32 and I've done this a couple times!! Surprisingly, I really didn't know either. I watched the short video, repeated the technique and now my toilet flushes like a champ!! No more flushing twice and hopefully no more back-ups! I wish I had learned this a long, long time ago! Had to drop you a note. Thanks Riviera!
