How to Clean a TOTO Washlet

Keeping your TOTO washlet clean is essential to maintain proper hygiene and functionality. A TOTO washlet is equipped with various features, such as a bidet and heated seat, which require regular cleaning to ensure optimal performance. Follow these simple steps to effectively clean your TOTO washlet:

Step 1: Turn Off the Power

Before cleaning your TOTO washlet, ensure that the power is turned off. Locate the power button or switch on your washlet and make sure it is in the “Off” position.

Step 2: Remove the Washlet Seat

Carefully remove the washlet seat from the toilet bowl. Most TOTO washlets have quick-release mechanisms that allow you to easily detach the seat for cleaning.

Step 3: Clean the Washlet Seat

Using a mild soap or detergent, clean the washlet seat thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that may damage the surface. Rinse the seat with water and dry it completely before reattaching it to the toilet bowl.

Step 4: Clean the Nozzle and Spray Wand

The nozzle and spray wand of your TOTO washlet may accumulate residue and require regular cleaning. Gently detach the nozzle and/or spray wand and soak them in warm soapy water for a few minutes. Use a soft brush to remove any stubborn dirt or debris. Rinse them thoroughly and ensure there is no residue left. Once cleaned, reattach the nozzle and spray wand to the washlet.

Step 5: Disinfect the Washlet

Disinfecting your TOTO washlet is an important step. You can use a mixture of water and mild bleach or a disinfectant specifically designed for bathroom fixtures. Apply the disinfectant solution to a cloth and wipe all the surfaces of the washlet, including the seat and control panel. Ensure that you follow the instructions provided by the disinfectant manufacturer.

Step 6: Clean the Exterior

Wipe down the exterior of your TOTO washlet with a damp cloth or non-abrasive cleaner. Pay attention to any visible dirt or stains and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned.

Step 7: Reinstall the Washlet Seat

After cleaning and disinfecting, reattach the washlet seat to the toilet bowl. Ensure that it is properly aligned and securely tightened according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

By following these steps, you can effectively clean your TOTO washlet and maintain its hygiene and longevity. Remember to always refer to the user manual provided by TOTO for specific cleaning instructions and to avoid any potential damage to your washlet.
