I think the flushing toilet is the most crucial part of every house. Sometimes you face many issues while using this corner of your home, like leakage issues, flush problems, etc., with many simple methods, and DIY can help you in many ways. Foor color is mainly used to examine toilet leakage. To test this issue, open the toilet tank and add some food coloring. After that, don’t flush the toilet; wait a little time. After some time, check the toilet bowl; if there is any food color you notice, there is water leakage in the tank. And you need to solve this issue as soon as possible. This water leakage is not only bothering the user but also a waste of water. You may think using food color in the toilet bowl is a good idea or not. Let’s see.
Does food color leave a stain on the toilet bowl?
When you examine the toilet for leakage with food color, you must think about stains in the toilet bowl. Most of the time, people love to use the pure white or almost white toilet in the washroom. And that is why no one loves to use a stained toilet. And the white bathroom makes it easy to notice whether the restroom is clean. There are many types of toilets you can find on the market. Most of the time, this toilet is made with porcelain. But there are also plastic, steel, and wooden toilets that are now available on the market.
You don’t need to worry about strain if the toilet bowl is made of porcelain or steel. It will not leave any mark on the toilet bowl’s white or color. But if the toilet bowl is made of plastic, then there is a chance of leaving a stain after doing so.

How to remove the strain from the toilet bowl?
If there is a stain you notice in the toilet bowl, don’t worry about it. This mark is not unsafe for your health. It just gives an ugly look in the restroom. So, to remove the mark from the toilet, you can use the normal toilet cleaning process. Like, use a little bit of bleach in the bowl and add boiling hot water to the bowl. Then soak it for some time, or the whole night (if needed), then clean it with normal water as usual. And I think you get a clean and clear toilet at the end after that.
Bottom Line
So if you worry about the stain of the food color in the toilet bowl, then you don’t need to worry. Most houses have porcelain toilets, and there is no chance of leaving any stain in the toilet bowl after the leakage test.
