One of the greatest advantages of a high quality Japanese toilet seat is that it is constructed with highly durable material such as polypropylene or ABS. These materials are long-lasting and need minimal maintenance during their lifetime. Apart from cutting-edge functionality, a Japanese toilet seat or a Toto Washlet is designed to enhance the visual appeal of bathroom where they’re installed.
These seats come with a glossy finish and look amazing in almost any toilet. However, in order to maintain their original appeal, it’s important to avoid harsh chemicals while cleaning any Washlet in Australia. Certain cleaning agents and abrasives can cause cracking or discolouration in some products. What makes things worse is that such physical damage is not covered under product warranty.
Washlet Australia: How to Safely Clean Your Japanese Toilet Seat?
- First and foremost; unplug the seat before starting any type of cleaning procedure.
- Instead of using harsh chemicals, mix some anti-bacterial soap and water (1:4) to prepare a cleaning solution. Add vinegar to make the solution more effective.
- Take a wash cloth or towel, dip it in the cleaning solution and clean the body of the Washlet. Take a separate wash cloth to wipe clean the underside of the seat as it is usually dirtier than the rest of the toilet.
- After cleaning the entire surface this way, use warm water and a fresh cloth to get rid of the cleaning solution. Lastly, plug back the seat and your toilet is ready to use again. Performing this simple cleaning procedure on regular basis won’t only keep you toilet looking like brand new for years to come, but it will also increase its lifespan by many more years.
- In case, you do want to use alcohol or other abrasive agents, make sure you remove every bit of such chemicals with warm water after cleaning the seat.
Some Precautions to Keep In Mind While Cleaning Your Toto Washlet
- Always use mild and neutral cleaning solution. Corrosive or drastic detergents can adversely affect the surface of your Toto toilet.
- Always wipe your Toto Washlet with a wet cloth, dipped in cleaning solution. Never use a dry cloth directly on the Washlet.
- Never use water directly to rinse the surface of the Toto Washlet.
- It’s a good practice to clean deodorization and intake filter screens on regular basis.
