    Fancy face... you are noticing smell from the toilet BOWL... or from the toilet tank? I can understand the bowl... but the tank? Look inside tank.. if it is the tank... what do you see..

    Or are you referring to another kind of tank.. Get back to me.

    Just one caution. If you use products containing bleach in the bowl and then do #1, without flushing, some of the amonia in the urine combines with the bleach producing chlorine gas.

    I'm clueless with smells in the tank, unless the water has excess chlorine for some reason, but then all water should smell.
