You can check for damage to the floors around the toilets by checking for soft areas. Straddle the toilet, so you can rock from one leg to another to determine whether there's weakness in the floor. Identify any damage and repair it before it gets worse. In the long run, you are likely to save money by not putting off the repair.

Look at the overflow holes to ensure they aren't clogged up. Overflow holes divert water when a sink starts to fill up. That doesn't happen often, but when it does, it can be a big problem if there is a clog. Clear the overflow holes periodically when you are doing your periodic checks for other problems and things that need to be repaired.

Additionally, use the minimum amount of toilet paper required to clean up after you are done.
