Hygiene & Sustainability
|01/07/2023
What do you think when you hear the term “tiny house”? A bungalow for the weekend? A temporary living space or construction sites? A guest house for the kids and grandkids to stay? That’s not exactly what it means. A tiny house isn’t more – but less.
A tiny house is designed in line with people’s desire for sustainable, resource-oriented lives. For years, this type of lifestyle has been reflected in various movements focussing on minimalism, longevity, ecology and recycling, to name a few.
It's about defining what an individual truly needs for his or her life. Of course, what is considered a “tiny house” is seen from the perspective of an affluent society. And people’s standards are relative. But if we’re being honest, what a person really needs to live is a bed to sleep in, a table for eating, making things or putting things down, space for the things they own and a bathroom. This raises the question of how many things we really need to own – and how much space is actually necessary to accommodate our personal property and needs.
It's about defining what an individual truly needs for his or her life.
To fit everything we need in the smallest amount of space possible, it’s essential to find smart spatial concepts and products that make the best use of the little room we have.
TOTO created a product for the bathroom that meets these very requirements: WASHLET® takes up little space and conserves resources. It’s the perfect solution for a small bathroom – and doesn’t require any compromises when it comes to comfort and hygiene.
WASHLET® doesn’t need much space. The combined bidet and toilet isn’t just practical – it also saves space, which makes a dramatic difference in small bathrooms. You can live the minimalist life without giving anything up: Personal hygiene, cleanliness and the ultimate comfort enhance your everyday life and can completely change your attitude.
WASHLET® is sustainable. Using the original shower toilet from Japan helps minimise the use of cleansing products and toilet paper. Toilet paper production in particular uses ridiculous amounts of energy and water – far more than the gentle warm water cleansing feature. Another sustainable point: WASHLET® makes flushable wipes totally unnecessary. In addition to conserving resources, this takes some pressure off the sewer system as such products tend to clog drains and pollute the environment.
WASHLET® creates a sense of well-being.The heated seat feels comfortably warm and soothing in the winter. The gentle warm water cleansing helps people feel clean, refreshed and cared for – a feeling that truly enriches their everyday lives.
WASHLET® fully supports the idea of the tiny house in terms of simplicity and sustainability. TOTO offers this and other solutions that provide the highest standards of comfort and hygiene, even in small bathrooms.
