Arranging a bathroom in multi-family housing requires making decisions about priorities. Limited square footage often forces the abandonment of additional sanitary facilities in favor of a washing machine, dryer or storage cabinets. Apartment owners are looking for ways to maintain the full functionality of the room without expanding the space. A washing toilet in an apartment allows you to combine the functions of a classic toilet and bidet in a single unit. Such a solution eliminates the need to install a separate bidet bowl, which occupies a significant part of the floor and requires a separate plumbing connection. Electronic washboards mounted on the existing ceramics are the answer to the needs of users with limited space.
Functional use of sanitary space
A standard bidet bowl requires about 60 centimeters in width and additional handling space on the sides, which is difficult to accommodate in small bathrooms in blocks of flats. Installing a bidet involves forging walls, reworking plumbing, and installing an additional flush-mounted rack or stand-up bowl. An electronic washboard uses the space already occupied by a toilet bowl. This device does not change the functional layout of the bathroom and does not take up floor space. This makes the space and cost savings real, and gives the user access to running water for hygiene purposes without a major overhaul. Replacing two devices with one also means a smaller area for regular cleaning, which translates into time savings when cleaning the bathroom.
An alternative to bidet and wet paper
A common solution used in small toilets is to install a bidetta-type bidet handle next to the sink or a special valve. Although this solution takes up less space than a bidet, it has usability disadvantages. Using a shower handle requires precision and often leads to splashing the floor and toilet seat with water. The water in a bidet system rarely has temperature stabilization, which, if connected only to cold water, reduces comfort. The absence of a bidet / bidet does not have to mean giving up washing with water. The washing toilet offers an integrated system of nozzles that extend only for the time of washing and retract when the cycle is completed. The water stream is directed precisely to the desired location, and the water temperature is electronically controlled by a flow or tank heater inside the board. This eliminates the problem of spilling water around the bathroom and the discomfort of washing with cold water.
Cleanliness standards and user health
Water removes impurities more thoroughly than toilet paper, which often only spreads bacteria or causes mechanical irritation to delicate intimate areas. Washing with warm water after using the toilet provides the ultimate in hygiene and prevents the proliferation of microorganisms. Users suffering from ailments such as hemorrhoids or recurrent infections are relieved by the gentle washing stream. Toilet paper, even the moistened kind, often contains chemicals and preservatives that can cause allergic reactions. Pure water is neutral to the skin. Functions such as oscillating and pulsating washing support thorough cleaning, and the warm air drying option eliminates the need for paper altogether, reducing the amount of waste generated in the household.
Technical specifications of the Clean Wave Breeze 700 model
The Clean Wave brand offers a model designed for demanding users looking for advanced features in an affordable form. The Clean Wave Breeze 700 is an electronic washboard equipped with a water heating system that ensures a constant water temperature from the beginning to the end of the wash cycle. The device has a nozzle made of stainless steel, which increases its durability and makes it easier to keep clean than plastic nozzles. This nozzle cleans itself with water before and after each use, which minimizes the risk of scale and bacteria buildup. This model offers adjustable water pressure, nozzle position and drying temperature, allowing you to adjust the parameters to suit individual household preferences. Control is via an intuitive side panel or remote control, depending on the configuration variant. An additional feature is a heated board with occupancy sensor, which activates functions only when a user is detected.
Economic and assembly aspects
The decision to purchase a washing toilet involves a one-time expense that proves to be cost-effective in the long run. The cost of purchasing the unit is less than the total cost of buying a bidet, bidet fittings, a concealed rack, and the labor of a plumber and tiler. Installation of a washboard such as the Breeze 700 can often be done by yourself. It requires only access to cold water (a tee for connection is usually included) and a grounded electrical outlet. Standard ceramic bowls mostly fit into universal washboard shapes. The lack of need to interfere with the structure of the walls makes this solution possible to implement also in rented apartments, where the tenant does not have permission for permanent remodeling. At the end of the lease, the device can be dismantled and taken to the new premises.
Use in the care of people with limited mobility
Washing toilets are used in homes where the elderly or those with mobility impairments live. Traditional use of toilet paper requires torso twists and precise hand movements, which can sometimes be painful or impossible for people with back or joint problems. Automating the hygiene process restores toilet independence for these people. Operation with easy-to-read buttons allows for a full cycle of washing and drying without the assistance of a caregiver. The Clean Wave Breeze 700 has a free-floating lid and board, which eliminates noise and protects the unit from mechanical damage in the event of a sudden lowering. LED night-lighting makes it easier to use the toilet after dark without having to turn on the main harsh bathroom light, making it safer for the elderly to move around.
Ordering and delivery process
Shopping at Clean Wave’s online store is optimized for customer convenience. The user does not have to worry about transporting bulky equipment with his own car. Free delivery is offered , fast and safe shipping carried out by reliable courier companies. The devices are packed in specially reinforced cardboard boxes with shock-absorbing filling, which protects delicate electronics and ceramic components from damage during transport. Each shipment is insured. The customer receives a bill of lading number to keep track of the status of the order. The storage of products in the country reduces the waiting time for order processing compared to importing equipment from abroad. The availability of spare parts and a Polish warranty service provide additional security for the buyer.
Daily operation and maintenance
Keeping the washing toilet clean does not require the use of aggressive chemicals. The housing made of high-quality plastic is resistant to discoloration, and the smooth surface makes it easy to remove dust. The Breeze 700 model uses a mechanism for easy removal of the seat from the bowl, which makes it possible to thoroughly wash the ceramic in hard-to-reach areas at the hinges. Regular cleaning of the water filter and decalcification of the nozzle according to the instruction manual ensures long-lasting and trouble-free operation. Energy-saving systems put the board into sleep mode when not in use, which minimizes power consumption. Water heating occurs when the user is detected or is kept to a minimum in eco mode, so electricity bills do not increase dramatically.
Comfort in different seasons
The functions of the washing toilet are appreciated especially during autumn and winter. Skin contact with the cold ceramics of a traditional toilet causes discomfort and chilling. A heated seat with a multi-stage temperature control eliminates this problem, making using the bathroom more pleasant. In summer, the heating function can be turned off completely. The ability to adjust the temperature of the water allows you to refresh on hot days with a cooler stream or warm up on cold days. Drying with warm air is gentle on the skin and prevents moisture from forming on underwear, which is important for maintaining the health of intimate zones.
Change in hygiene habits
Switching from using toilet paper to washing with water is a process that changes attitudes toward personal hygiene. Many people notice a significant difference in their sense of freshness throughout the day once they start using a washing toilet. Traditional cleaning methods are being replaced by technology that is more physiological and effective. In Asian countries, where washing toilets are standard, a return to toilet paper alone is seen as a lowering of the standard of living. In Poland, awareness of the benefits of washing with water is growing, and Clean Wave brand devices make it possible to introduce this standard into every home without costly renovations. A washing toilet in an apartment ceases to be a luxury gadget and becomes a piece of equipment that takes care of the basic health needs of household members.
Environmental impact
The production of toilet paper involves significant consumption of water, energy and wood. The paper bleaching process generates chemical pollution. Reducing paper consumption through the drying function of washing toilets contributes to reducing this environmental burden. Although the washing device consumes water and electricity, the environmental balance in the long term is favorable, especially considering the logistical processes involved in transporting and packaging large volumes of toilet paper. Less waste going into the sewage system and wastewater treatment plants is another argument in favor of washing technology. Consciously choosing a device like the Clean Wave Breeze 700 combines attention to personal hygiene with responsibility for natural resources.
