    TOTO Washlet: The hygiene powerhouse

    Incorporating more hygiene in our everyday lives makes sense right now. Toto‘s Washlet is an ideal option for bringing greater hygiene into the bathroom…

    Ensuring the greatest possible hygiene is essential during a pandemic. We accept this as a reality of our times, but are unaccustomed to it in many instances.

    At the same time, we are slowly becoming aware of the fact that this situation will not change any time soon. Toto is here to show us that incorporating more hygiene actually enriches our everyday lives,  and is beneficial to our overall wellbeing.. The Japanese bathroom supplier has developed a true hygiene powerhouse with its shower toilet, known as Toto Washlet. It is easy to clean, reduces germs to a minimum, and is as touch-free as possible. Many people who have switched to Toto Washlet describe it as “life-changing”. You can learn more about Toto’s innovative technologies on the Toto microsite.

    Recently, we have all been forced to learn just how important prophy­lactic hygiene actually is – and not just in clinical settings, but in our everyday lives. According to the latest research*, most germs can survive only a few hours or a few days at most on surfaces. In contrast, dirt and other micro-organisms are capable of sticking around for several months and multiplying during this time. This presents a risk of infection, especially for people with compromised immune systems.

    A power-packed hygiene product

    A Toto shower toilet has outstanding hygiene features at many levels. The special Cefiontect glaze is easy to clean, extremely smooth, and as hard as glass. This es­sentially prevents dirt from accumulating on the surface. One of the major innovations that Toto developed in conjunction with the shower toilet is the rimless toilet bowl and especially powerful, efficient flush. Hygiene medicine specialist Prof. Dr. med. Klaus Dieter Zastrow confirmed the following about Toto toilets in 2014: “…using a rimless toilet equipped with the Toto Tornado Flush (with circling water) essentially rules out the spread of gram­negative bacteria (intestinal germs).”

    Using products that are touch­ free is also becoming increasingly impor­tant including taps and dryers.

    Auto Taps for enhanced hygiene

    TOTO automatic faucets no longer need power from the electrical outlet. The energy from the flowing water is used to charge a battery that powers the faucet, making an external power source unnecessary. A generator converts the energy from the flow of water to supply the microsensor with power. The integrated sensor registers hand-movement in order to dispense the exact amount of water needed. The sensor-based automatic system means that users no longer need to touch the faucets in order to use them. This keeps public washrooms in particular more hygienic.

    Hand dryers offer a number of advantages over paper towels in public facilities. They are touch-free, and therefore very hygienic, especially for busy washrooms. Heavily used washrooms with hand dryers are far easier to keep clean. They have a better environmental balance and considerably lower operating costs.
