Because they aren’t supposed to be caulked. Have you ever seen caulk that has pee soaked into it? It’s 10000x worse

Why would toilets have grout around them? Do you mean caulk? It’s actually not a good idea to caulk around your toilet because if there’s a leak, it’s gonna seal it in.

If your wax seal leaks, you will know. If you caulk it, only your neighbors below will know.

“Yes, two major plumbing codes require sealing around the base of a toilet: the International Plumbing Code (2012 edition) and the Uniform Plumbing Code (2009 edition). Failing to caulk could lead to noncompliance during home inspections.” 🤷🏼

It’s not grout. It’s caulk. There’s a huge difference.

You do not need to caulk the bottom of a toilet, quite the opposite in my opinion actually, if your toilet leaks from underneath the toilet, wouldn’t you wanna see the water come out from underneath it instead of just stain underneath the toilet and rotting in your floor?

grout is used on ceramic tile, if you put caulk around the base of your toilets and the wax ring fails you will ruin your sub floor. if properly installed you should never caulk around the base of the toilet.

yeah plumbers will put caulking around the base of the toilet that way when there's a leak underneath there you won't know until it's too late in the toilet drops through the floor

Don't listen to these people who are fully dismissed caulking around the base. Caulking around will help you not have to use a knife to clean under. Just dont caulk behind the toilet so if a leak happens you can see the water.
