TOTO Touch-free tech in the bathroom
Touch-free products mean greater hygiene and cleanliness TOTO has new solutions designed especially for the bathroom
Cleanliness is essential whenever several people use the same bathroom. The fewer things that you need to touch by hand, the better. Touch-free taps and hand dryers once reserved for public washrooms are now becoming more common in peoples homes. TOTO has designed special solutions for the bathroom that will elevate your standards of hygiene: In addition to several WASHLET models with automatic flush options, the Japanese sanitaryware company offers touch-free taps, soap dispensers, hand dryers and washbasins with especially dirt-resistant ceramic surfaces.

Touch-free features are especially welcome in frequently used guest bathrooms. Sensor-activated products that you don’t have to touch with your hands help you feel cleaner and more comfortable. Any guest would immediately notice just how much their hosts care about the well-being of their visitors. In response to people’s growing demands for greater hygiene, TOTO is offering more touch-free functionalities in its shower toilets (WASHLET™), taps, soap dispenser and automatic hand dryers. Other new products in our collection include washbasins made of our especially slim ceramic which is, dirt-resistant and easy-to-clean (LINEARCERAM).

WASHLETTM with sensor-activated lid and automatic flush
Guest bathrooms are trending more towards shower toilets with integrated intimate cleansing features that minimise the need for toilet paper. The latest model from TOTO is WASHLET™ RW auto flush with automatic flush functionality. Once you approach WASHLET, the sensor-activated lid raises – and the toilet flushes automatically when you walk away. WASHLET will determine how much water to use for the flush based on the amount of time you spend sitting on the toilet.
LINEARCERAM Washbasin
TOTO developed its own unique LINEARCERAM material, a very fine and slim, delicate-looking ceramic that is incredibly durable. It is used in many washbasins, including TOTO’s eye-catching asymmetrical TA vessel. It has a dirt-resistant, easy-to-clean ceramic surface, which essentially prevents waste and bacteria from accumulating. This robust surface can even be cleaned using microfibre cloth and will still keep its brilliant shine after years of constant use.

TOTO’s sensor-based faucets, soap dispenser and hand dryers
Automatic taps equipped with sensors bring even more hygiene to the bathroom, including TOTO’s elegant, wall-mounted Autofaucet with concealed installation. The hidden sensor in the faucet can register every hand movement and dispense the exact amount of water needed. The tap even generates its own electricity from the flow of water – no power socket required.

If you’re trying to maximise hygiene, the move from the touch-free tap to automatic hand dryer is an obvious one. TOTO’s powerful model is an ideal solution for guest bathrooms in the home, drying hands with warm air in no time. According to a company statement, “Our Research Department has also managed to reduce the noise of our hand dryer to a minimum – making it a great option for home bathrooms.”
