Simplify your bathroom cleaning routine

As we increasingly value health and hygiene at home, innovations that protect us from coming in contact with harmful microorganisms are becoming more and more popular, especially in the bathroom space.

In this article, we take a look at products and solutions that guarantee hygiene in the bathroom; we’ll explore innovations such as smart toilets, rimless toilets and anti-slip shower trays, and look at the antibacterial properties of Roca toilet seats.

Not only do these solutions contribute to an easier cleaning routine in the home, but they also feature functions, coatings and materials that prevent the buildup of dirt in the first place.

As a result of an ongoing research process, Roca has developed innovative materials that improve traditional vitreous china with enhanced features. Cratos shower trays are highly anti-slip thanks to the texture of their Senceramic® surface, which means that a shower mat isn’t necessary. By avoiding a shower mat, the shower area becomes easier to clean, and you can minimise the risk of mould building up.

Thanks to Senceramic®, Cratos anti-slip shower trays are extraslim for a perfect integration into the bathroom floor, and allow the shower trays to be cut to size. For even more choice in terms of design, they are available in five different finishes: Matt White, Beige, Coffee, Pearl or Onyx.

As resistant as traditional vitreous china, Senceramic® keeps the shine and anti-slip properties of shower trays intact, even when disinfectants or abrasive products are used on them. Due to its zero porosity, this material is 100% hygienic and easy to clean, as it does not absorb any water, therefore preventing the build up of bacteria.

In terms of cleaning, there is nothing as useful as having a surface that already offers antibacterial properties. This is the case of Supralit®, the resin in which most Roca toilet seats and covers are manufactured. Its exclusive surface treatment prevents the proliferation of bacteria, meaning they are much safer when in contact with hands. Moreover, thanks to its malleability, Supralit® (which is unique to Roca) allows for toilet seats with soft and rounded shapes, making cleaning easier.

You may have heard of rimless toilets, and perhaps you’re wondering how they work. Let us explain: keeping optimum hygiene levels in the WC area is obviously a priority in any home, and disinfecting the toilet and toilet seat is essential to ensure it remains germ-free. However, the shape of conventional toilets, with an internal rim where water flows through during a flush, can make cleaning difficult.

This is where the introduction of rimless WCs has made such a difference: Roca’s rimless toilets are designed without the traditional rim, offering an inner surface that is completely smooth, with no nooks or corners where dirt might build up.

When cleaning a rimless toilet, it is enough to use a sponge soaked in bleach or any other soapy product to achieve a swift and efficient disinfection of the entire surface of the toilet.

Commonplace in some Asian and Middle Eastern countries, smart toilets, or shower toilets, are gaining popularity also in the UK. However, sometimes there are concerns about how easy these toilets are to clean. Let’s take a look at the InWash® with InTank, an easy-to-use solution designed to enhance your daily hygiene. It features an integrated design, where all cables are hidden and the cistern is built into the pan, allowing for easy installation.

Not only has the InWash InTank been designed with simple, minimalist curves, allowing for easy-to-clean surfaces, it also includes a number of unique features that will make the cleaning process more efficient. The pan is rimless, the seat and cover quickly releases for easy access, the shower nozzle is self-cleaning (it cleans after each use) and the nozzle tip can be removed and exchanged when needed. This isn’t just a smart toilet, it’s a hygienic toilet too!

As we all try to keep our homes as clean as possible, it’s comforting to know that innovation and technology can help. By installing some of Roca’s latest solutions, such as antibacterial toilet seats, rimless toilets and anti-slip shower trays, you can simplify your cleaning routine without compromising on hygiene.
