        There’s a horrible smelling mildew in the toilet tank. I’ve cleaned the tank many times but it and the stink returns. How can I get rid of the mildew and ghastly smell? What would cause it to keep occuring when the toilet bowl is completely clean?

            You might have yourself or others who use the toilet checked for diabetes. Mildew is often the result.
