deep clean, while the patented VorMax
jetted flushing technology powerfully
scours the bowl to remove all splatter,
skid marks and clinging waste. At the
end of the soak period, the unit automat-
ically siphons away the cleaner and rinses
the bowl with clear water. Simply press
a button, walk away, and let the toilet do
the rest - it’s that easy.
* Smarter showers - Sure, you can find
high-tech, high-cost showers that keep
shower doors spotless through nano-
technology that repels dirt and water
droplets. But having an easy-to-clean
shower can actually be simpler and less
expensive. It starts by choosing the right
materials and design. For example, tra-
ditional shower doors are notorious for
building up mold, mildew and grime in
door tracks. Frameless shower doors can
eliminate that problem. If you hate mold
in tile grout (and who doesn’t?) you have
numerous options. Tile your shower with
a dark tile and dark grout. Or, opt for
tiles made with mildew-resistant coat-
ings. For super-easy cleaning - not to
mention leading edge design - you can
even choose a concrete shower.
* No-touch faucets - The bathroom
faucet is the most touched area in a bath-
room, which means it can also have the
most germs. After all, everyone touches
it right after using the toilet (you hope).
Touchless bathroom sink faucets can
help reduce the spread of bacteria and
germs, since no one needs to touch them
to turn them on. Plus, their hands-free
operation ensures that the faucet stays
free of fingerprints, soap scum and
toothpaste splatters. A wave of the hand
starts the faucet -- and you’re on your
way to a tidier, maybe even immaculate,
bathroom.
Cleaner construction
Of course, if you’ll be renovating a
bathroom or building a new home, the
best way to ensure a cleaner bathroom
at the get-go is to start with construc-
tion materials that promote cleanliness.
Mildew resistant tiles and grout, mold-
resistant paint, and solid surface counter-
tops can all add up to less cleaning time
down the road.
One of the most important features to
incorporate into a bathroom to help keep
it fresher and healthier is an exhaust
fan. This will not only remove unpleas-
ant odors from the bathroom, it will
also vent moisture out of the room from
steamy showers and baths. Excess mois-
ture in a bathroom is one of the leading
causes of mold and mildew, which can be
unsightly, smelly and unhealthy.
Yes, you can achieve freedom from
cleaning. By installing easy-to-clean
bathroom fixtures and materials, you can
invest less time, effort and energy keep-
ing the room clean. Unexpected guests -
drop in unannounced at any time!
