What happens here

Thoroughly clean the toilet flange using a scraper, a rag, and possibly a wet/dry shop vacuum to remove all traces of the old wax, debris, and any standing water. Ensure the flange surface is completely dry and free of contaminants for optimal adhesion of the new wax ring. The presenter mentions that the original installation was problematic, with visible signs of leakage and poor sealing.

Goal: Prepare the toilet flange for the new wax ring by cleaning it thoroughly.
