Clean Seat

One of the biggest and most common concerns of using public toilets is avoiding dermatosis and bacterial infection that comes from sharing a toilet with others. Clean Seat has a toilet lid that automatically opens when the first sensor (located at the front of the toilet lid) detects a user approaching. A second sensor then detects the person leaving after using the toilet, prompting the toilet lid to close and lock itself. When the lid is locked, the system kickstarts the self-cleaning function of the toilet. The self-cleaning system begins with the spraying of clean water to clean the ring around the toilet seat. This happens for a default period before a built-in blower dries the seat. The UV light is then activated to disinfect the seat. After this sequence of cleaning and disinfecting, the toilet seat is in a clean and hygienic state to welcome the next user. Red Dot Award: Design Concept | Concept | Bathroom & Hygiene
