SUGGESTION: I would love to apply a tiny bead of high quality “bathroom and kitchen” clear silicone around the base of my commode where they fulfill the flooring to offer a clean look great work and for simple cleaning. You could wish to leave an area behind the base of the commode left open. That way, in the future if a leakage establishes in the wax ring/ wardrobe flange, you will see immediately since the water will appear of the open location in the back.
