Introducing the Next Generation of Swash Advanced Bidet Toilet Seats…… It’S Going to Bring Potty Talk to a Whole New Level FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brondell Inc. (888) 542-3355 [email protected] Introducing the Next Generation of Swash Advanced Bidet Toilet Seats…… It’s going to bring potty talk to a whole new level San Francisco, CA – December 7, 2010 Imagine this: after a long day, you finally make it home and into the comfort of your own bathroom. You sit down on the perfectly heated seat and a wave of relaxation comes over you. You press the easy to use remote control to release a stream of aerated, warm water that’s aimed just right. No, you’re not dreaming, you’re Swashing. Introducing the Brondell next generation Swash 1000 advanced bidet toilet seat; it’s the number one seat for your number two business. Brondell released the first Swash to the US market in 2004 and is now looking (and smelling) better than ever as one of the leading providers of advanced bidet toilet seats with the launch of the new Swash 1000. One of the most technologically advanced bidet seats in the industry, the Swash 1000 offers an unlimited warm water posterior and feminine wash at the push of a button. The wash temperature, spray strength, spray width and nozzle positions can all be easily controlled by the user for the perfect cleansing, every time, no matter how dirty the job. The heated seat, adjustable warm air dryer, automatic deodorizer, and dual stainless steel nozzles with sterilization make the Swash 1000 the true Cadillac of toilet seats. Simply put, when comparing features, quality, and price ($599 retail) - the Brondell Swash 1000 blows the competition out of the water. Not only has Brondell released the top of the line Swash 1000 for your bathroom pleasure, they have also introduced two additional bidet seats: the Swash 900 and the Swash Ecoseat 100. The Swash 900 is similar to the Swash 1000 in design, offering premium features at an entry level price of $399 retail. The eco-friendly Swash Ecoseat 100 is powered solely on water pressure and features an aerated sterilized posterior and feminine wash and has dual self cleaning nozzles and ergonomic side controls. Let’s talk toilet seats: In Japan, according to a Cabinet Office survey, over 70% of homes now have a bidet seat installed, compared to only 14% in 1992. The trend is increasing in America as well as product awareness and demand for a cleaner, healthier lifestyle grows. Baby boomers currently make up 28% of the US population. That’s 78M people between 46-64 years old, an age when using the bathroom may not be as easy or comfortable as it once was – kind of like going through airport security. This is where the Swash comes in. A simple push of a button on the wireless remote control, and you get a warm wash cleanse with automatic deodorization, a warm air dry, and a high five (not really…we are still working on that last feature). “There is an increasing number of people in the US actively seeking out a bidet seat for their home – mostly based on either first-hand experience from travelling abroad or word of mouth from a close friend or family member,” said Brondell President Steven Scheer. “In the past, Americans have thought it taboo to talk about bathroom functions. The fact is everybody poops, and a bidet seat is just a better way of taking care of business. There is no doubt that once somebody experiences the comfortable and hygienic nature of a bidet seat, that they are a convert for life. It’s the toilet seat you never knew you wanted, and won’t be able to live without.” To learn more about the Swash 1000 or Brondell’s entire product line, please visit www.brondell.com. Media interested in speaking directly with Brondell management may do so by calling 888-542-3355.

  • Lifting the Lid on Washrooms There’S Something Quintessentially British When It Comes to Talking About Toilets
    Lifting the Lid on Washrooms There’s something quintessentially British when it comes to talking about toilets Introduction The loo, the restroom, the powder room, the washroom - call it what you may - we all spend a lot more time noticing them and talking about them than you think. Even though research finds the average desk at work harbours 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat, our sense of serenity comes from how we regard our restrooms. In restaurants, they impact our perceptions of hygiene while in the workplace grubby washrooms conjure up visions of employers with similarly low standards. In short, toilets say a lot about their owners. All of this is against a backdrop of an emerging national debate about our basic facilities. Not only are their size, design and functionality all being looked at, there is now a serious debate about whether workplaces should allow members of the public, not just their employees, to use their loos. Around 40% of public conveniences have disappeared in the last decade and, in a speech to her fellow MPs in September 2017, Madeleine Moon MP called for business rate reductions as a reward for friendly employers who open their (toilet) doors to a wider clientele. Pragmatically, there is an economic reason behind wanting to maximise the net internal area of a toilet. Dwarfing this though, is an emerging conversation about whether workplaces should dispense with traditional male-female loo labels altogether, and instead only offer gender-neutral toilets - to help transgender and non-binary people feel more comfortable. If even the White House has done it, many are asking why the change can’t be made here too.

  • Arxiv:2101.11990V1 [Physics.Flu-Dyn] 28 Jan 2021 in the Study Reported That All of the Restroom Surfaces Appeared Teria Recovered from Air Samples
    Aerosol generation in public restrooms Jesse H. Schreck,1, a) Masoud Jahandar Lashaki,2, b) Javad Hashemi,1, c) Manhar Dhanak,1, d) and Siddhartha Verma1, e) 1)Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA 2)Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatics Engineering, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA (Dated: 29 January 2021) Aerosolized droplets play a central role in the transmission of various infectious diseases, including Legionnaire’s disease, gastroenteritis-causing norovirus, and most recently COVID-19. Respiratory droplets are known to be the most prominent source of transmission for COVID-19, however, alternative routes may exist given the discovery of small numbers of viable viruses in urine and stool samples. Flushing biomatter can lead to the aerosolization of microorganisms, thus, there is a likelihood that bioaerosols generated in public restrooms may pose a concern for the transmission of COVID-19, especially since these areas are relatively confined, experience heavy foot traffic, and may suffer from inadequate ventilation. To quantify the extent of aerosolization, we measure the size and number of droplets generated by flushing toilets and urinals in a public restroom. The results indicate that the particular designs tested in the study generate a large number of droplets in the size range 0:3mm to 3mm, which can reach heights of at least 1:52m. Covering the toilet reduced aerosol levels but did not eliminate them completely, suggesting that aerosolized droplets escaped through small gaps between the cover and the seat. In addition to consistent increases in aerosol levels immediately after flushing, there was a notable rise in ambient aerosol levels due to the accumulation of droplets from multiple flushes conducted during the tests.

  • 2 the Robo-Toilet Revolution the Actress and the Gorilla
    George, Rose, 2014, The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters (pp. 39-64). Henry Holt and Co.. Kindle Edition. 2 THE ROBO-TOILET REVOLUTION THE ACTRESS AND THE GORILLA The flush toilet is a curious object. It is the default method of excreta disposal in most of the industrialized, technologically advanced world. It was invented either five hundred or two thousand years ago, depending on opinion. Yet in its essential workings, this everyday banal object hasn’t changed much since Sir John Harington, godson of Queen Elizabeth I, thought his godmother might like something that flushed away her excreta, and devised the Ajax, a play on the Elizabethan word jakes, meaning privy. The greatest improvements to date were made in England in the later years of the eighteenth century and the early years of the next by the trio of Alexander Cumming (who invented a valve mechanism), Joseph Bramah (a Yorkshireman who improved on Cumming’s valve and made the best lavatories to be had for the next century), and Thomas Crapper (another Yorkshireman who did not invent the toilet but improved its parts). In engineering terms, the best invention was the siphonic flush, which pulls the water out of the bowl and into the pipe. For the user, the S-bend was the godsend, because the water that rested in the bend created a seal that prevented odor from emerging from the pipe. At the height of Victorian invention, when toilets were their most ornate and decorated with the prettiest pottery, patents for siphonic flushes, for example, were being requested at the rate of two dozen or so a year.

I analyze the situations, laws, civil codes, and perceptions that lead to different toilet styles. As toilets and defecation are taboo subjects, I use online anonymous resources like Zhihu to discover the modern perceptions of people on today’s toilets as well as architecture and statistics. I in part find that I can analyze China’s income disparity through toilets as the Coastal region of China has the most public restrooms and the Western region of China has the least. Then, I analyze what effect and correlation this has on their society. Key Words: Public Restrooms, toilets, gender, privacy, hygiene, China 2 Newsom 3 Table of Contents I. Introduction II.
