All-Inclusive Restroom Design

Facilities that experience a high volume of elderly or disabled persons should design restrooms that go above and beyond the requirements set forth by the American Disabilities Act. In fact, toileting is the #1 reason people concede their independence and go to care facilities. This means that in order to better serve these populations in public facilities, items like Washlets should be installed to help people with disabilities use the facility. Buildings that design restrooms with the recognition that people with disabilities are included are commended for their inclusivity, and appreciated by all, not only those with disabilities that need it.

Q: Do Washlets require a power outlet?

A: Yes. There must be a power outlet available near the toilet. It used the standard AC 120V, 60Hz. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a three blade grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle outlet that will accept the plug on the product.

Q: How do I clean my washlet?

A: Washlets have a self-cleaning wand so cleaning should only need to occur roughly once a month or so, depending on usage. The following cleaning items are approved for use: detergents or non-abrasive surface cleaners, a wet cloth to clean on and around plastic parts, and for hard water, a vinegar or lime dissolving cleaning and a non-scratch scour pad made for porcelain. 

What NOT to use: Cleansers, polishing powders, or detergents that include gritty or coarse particles that could scratch surfaces, a dry cloth or toilet paper on plastic parts, and abrasive nylon scrubbing brushes are all items that should NOT be used to clean Washlet components.

Q: How do I clean the wand?

A: Press the wand cleaning ON/OFF button on the back of the remote. The wand will extend and water sprays out for cleaning. The wand then automatically retracts after 5 minutes. Wipe the wand with a soft, wet cloth. Do not pull, push, or press the wand with excessive force.
