BRUTAL BEHAVIOUR
WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OUR HERITAGE?
The core function of the WASHLET is a
wand-jet system that uses warm water to
cleanse the intimate parts of the body.
The temperature, position and force of
the warm water jet can be individually
adjusted and for additional comfort, the
seat is pleasantly warm before you start.
TOTO has been refining this high-
tech innovation for over 30 years, with
some models incorporating the added
luxuries of automatic soft opening and
closing, drying and air purifying. Sixty
per cent of all Japanese households have
at least one and TOTO have sold more
than 30,000,000 worldwide. Now, five
different WASHLET products are
available in the European market, from
entry-level to total luxury models.
