How To DIY An Auto Closing Toilet Seat
It is a pretty straightforward cycle. You will need to acquire a few items for this process, which can be found at your home. You are going to need some string, it can be a standard house string that you use for sewing your clothes, some tape, and glue.
1st Step
The first step is that you will need to remove the lid from the toilet tank, be exceptionally cautious when doing this. We would truly recommend that you wear gloves because there is plenty of bacteria in the toilet tank.
2nd Step
Once you have safely removed the lid, take some of the glue or some of the tape and attach the string to the floater that you will find inside the tank. Make sure you run the string outside and then you can go ahead and put the lid right back on as you found it. Make sure the lid is tightly closed and that there is adequate space for the string to move around.
3rd Step
Now stretch the string out to the tip of the toilet seat, make sure that you have it long enough, and apply the first piece of the tape that you have to the top of the seat, the very front part of the seat.
Remember that you are working on the bottom side of the seat and what you want to do is work your way around with the string so that the string is going to end up coming out of the back.
4th Step
Make sure the tape place on the top of the seat is firm, run the string out the back and you can wrap it. Make sure you tie up any loose string that you might have somewhere. It is easy as that.
