Remove Toilet and Clean Flange

What happens here

With all connections and fasteners removed, carefully lift the toilet straight up and away from the floor flange. It's recommended to have assistance as toilets can be heavy. Place the toilet in a safe area, preferably where it won't be in the way. Using a scraper tool or a putty knife, meticulously remove the old wax ring and any remaining caulk or sealant from the toilet flange on the floor. It's crucial to remove all old material to ensure a proper seal with the new gasket. The old wax ring is single-use and cannot be reused. Also, clean any old hardware (nuts and bolts) if you plan to reuse them.

Goal: Carefully lift and remove the toilet, then thoroughly clean the old wax ring and any remaining caulk or debris from the floor flange.
