But what causes it to form, though? The repeated use of the toilet is really the main cause of it. This would lead to a build-up of deposits that result from the combination of urine and hard water. The result is a urine scale and they form on the surface of the toilet bowl.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the scales harden, then it becomes very difficult to clean or even remove completely. It is particularly hard to remove when it is located under the rim because it is quite difficult to reach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the composition of the scales, studies have found that it is mainly composed of calcium phosphates, calcium carbonate, uric acid, as well as proteins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Urine_Damage_a_Toilet\"><\/span>Can Urine Damage a Toilet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So you want to know if urine can actually damage your toilet. For example, if you pee in your toilet bowl and just let it sit there, is it going to cause any kind of damage?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Urine itself is not really an aggressive substance. And it is also not a corrosive one, so it will not actually harm the porcelain of the toilet bowl.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although urine contains some forms of bacteria, it is actually not at plentiful or harmful as the bacteria that is present in something like saliva. So you can leave it for a while in the toilet and it won\u2019t cause any significant damage at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_if_You_Dont_Flush_a_Toilet_a_Long_Time\"><\/span>What Happens if You Don\u2019t Flush a Toilet a Long Time?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you want to find out what will happen if you don\u2019t flush a toilet for a long time. Will it cause significant damage to the toilet if you leave pee sitting in it? Or will it be left unaffected even after a long time?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What will happen is there will eventually be a build-up of ammonia. This basically ensures that the toilet is going to smell very bad. However, other than the stink, it won&#8217;t present any kind of health hazard at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are fine with a stinking toilet then you can ignore flushing it. But if you are like a lot of other people that get easily bothered by the foul smell, then you should flush the toilet after you use it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dealing with urine stains can at first seem very tough.
