The Sweaty Toilet
Have you ever had a 'sweaty toilet'?
If you live in a generally warm climate, you probably have central air conditioning, or an insulated toilet, both of which would prevent this annoyance. But, if you live in New England, where 355 out of 365 days are either 'normal' or 'really cold', you may have neither. In that case, you have probably experienced a 'sweaty toilet'.
Basically, the toilet sweats for the same reason a glass of ice water leaves a ring on your coffee table on a hot day. The cold water in the toilet hits the porcelain, which is being hit on the outside by warm, humid air. This combination causes condensation to form on the outside of the toilet, which often pools on the floor of your bathroom.
Like I said, if you live in New England, this may be a problem about five to ten days out of the year. You could insulate your toilet, which should solve the problem. However, for those few days, you could also just put some towels down (paper or otherwise) around the base of the toilet to prevent damage to your floor.
