Best Toilet Seat Money Can Buy!

October 30th, 2006 at 04:15 pm

And I mean it, too.

See, I'm married, and as DH is a boy he is prone to the messes that, um, boys make. No offense to the guys here, but how the HECK can you get golden droplets everywhere? I used to have an etigere behind the commode, and there would be pee on the back of this thing! It's like the magical JFK bullet in urine form, I'm telling you!

Anyways, the bathroom is an area where the concept of "you made the mess, you clean it up" just doesn't get through. And I personally find it gross and somewhat humiliating to clean pee off of, well, anything. So when we bought our house, the upstairs toilet had no seat and I happily plunked down $30 on a toilet seat. You heard me, $30!!!

First benefit is this sucker is self-closing, so the seat and lid don't slam shut. Pretty nice, but not worth $30.

The fact that the seat and lid are designed with quick release hinges? PRICELESS!!!!!!

All I gotta do is flip 2 hinges, throw this baby in the tub and hose it down (or spray with bleach). The rest of the toilet is now exposed to be brushed clean with the toilet brush and then wiped with disinfectant. No flipping the seat up to clean one part, flipping the seat down to clean another part, getting grossed out and frustrated by the eeeeewwww that invariably hides in the cracks along normal hinges.

NO MORE!!!!

Best $30 I've ever spent, and I fully intend to spend $40 to get the elongated version for the bathroom downstairs when we redo it.

Now, if I can just get the cats to stop staring at me and silently laughing when I clean their litter box...

    To add insult to injury, my cat patiently waits while I clean her box, then steps in as soon as I am done to christen the clean litter. ugh.
    On the upside - once we had to take her to the vet after she was nicked by a car - she wouldn't go to the bathroom at all, despite the vet poking her every which way. Finally, we got the bright idea to clean her box. She watched us, waited until we were done, then stepped in and went.
    Uh, a little off topic...sorry. I don't know how the men do it either. My light blue rug in front of the toilet at times gets a greenish tint (yellow + blue) - icky.

    glad to hear my cats aren't the only ones into humiliating their owner! one will sit (on the toilet no less!) and silently smirk as i clean the litter. as soon as i am done one of the other two will dart in the door and head straight for it, scratching litter around and making a mess all over again.

    *sigh* between the cats and the boy, sometimes i feel like all i do is clean up pee... need to potty train the cats, i guess!

    How about paying a visit to a computerized commode?

    For a mere $5,000, the Neorest toilet from Japanese company Toto automatically lifts its lid when you approach it, and automatically flushes and lowers the lid upon completion. (We can hear wives and girlfriends applauding everywhere.)

    A remote control sets the temperature of the seat and also activates a gentle cleansing process with a wand that extends from the back of the rim and sprays water upward, followed by an air dryer. Who needs paper?

    The Arizona Republic reported that sales of the Neorest have been slow at a local retailer, possibly because it costs more than a low-mileage used car.

    But the costly commode reportedly has found some converts among Hollywood celebrities, including actor Will Smith, who gushed about it during an interview on Access Hollywood. The high-tech toilets are also installed in the main headquarters of Google, possibly the end result of the $400-a-share company being flush with cash.
