ghItlh David.  jatlh:
I'm having trouble understanding this, but I think you're saying, "Is 
your toilet empty? If your toilet is not empty I will not clean your 
bathroom!"

The first sentence is fine. The second sentence begins with {yIchImbe'}, 
which is kinda-sorta-not-legally like "be not empty it!" I believe you 
wanted to use a conditional clause: {chImbe'chugh puch} "if the toilet 
is not empty." You used {bIH} "they/them (referring to things)" as if it 
were {vaj} "therefore." Change it to {vaj}, or leave it out entirely. 
chIm'a' puchlIj?

    chImbe'chugh puch [vaj] puchpa'lIj vISay'moHQo'! bIQ neH ngaSbej
