Bidets and Washlets
Water is the best way to clean just about anything. We use it to wash our bodies because it's effective, comfortable and leaves us feeling refreshed. In fact, it's hard to imagine washing without it. You certainly wouldn't use dry paper to clean your face or a dirty dish. Yet, when we go to the toilet we use dry paper to clean the most sensitive areas of our body. In truth, toilet paper is abrasive, unsanitary and just plain ineffective.
Bidets and Washlet seats change all that. As you sit in comfort on the heated seat, warm water provides a gentle and soothing cleansing, leaving you feeling shower fresh at the push of a button. And its hygienic benefits can be enjoyed by anyone: male or female, from children to the elderly.
The various settings on them can be adjusted to suit your personal needs. Regardless of your circumstances, the ease, comfort, and hygienic qualities they will play an integral part in promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Eco-friendly: The Bidet or Washlet seats reduce toilet paper consumption 50 - 100%
Over 100,000,000 rolls of toilet paper are consumed every day throughout the world. The United States alone uses over 3.2 million tons per year. In fact, 54 million trees are cut down every year just to produce toilet paper for the US market. In addition, the production process itself is very destructive. Each roll produced uses:
- 1.5 pounds of wood
- 37 gallons of water
- 1.3 KWH of electricity
- Harmful chlorine, sulfur, and calcium carbonate
Having a bidet or washlet seat in your home will reduce toilet paper consumption from 50 - 100% via the effective cleansing of the warm water wash and optional warm air dryer. In addition, they only use an average 5-7 cents of electricity per day - even less when the power saving feature is activated. They support both a green lifestyle and a luxurious bathroom experience. Who says you can't have it all?
Any bidet that is not manual and all washlet seats must be plugged into a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet. The GFCI outlet is generally required in bathrooms and near sources of water. Users typically have an outlet within three feet of the toilet fixture; though running an extension cord is perfectly acceptable as well. |
