Commode seats

The seats of commodes, are a very important constituent of the whole commode. When choosing commodes, one should always select a seat which is both comfortable for the user and easily to clean with antiseptic wipes and other cleaning agents. A lot of the plastic commodes will come with cushioned seats which serve both purposes well.
The cushioned seats can easily be cleaned with antiseptic and anti-bacterial cleaning agents and what's more is that they provide a comfortable solution for the user of the commode. However, if you buy a commode and find that it's uncomfortable or can't be cleaned easily you can always buy replaceable seats or customize the seats: perhaps add a plastic cover for the seat making it more hygienic or add extra comfort padding to it.

Commodes for Chirstmas

With the festive season fast approaching us, now is the perfect time to start looking to either modern day mobile commodes, or perhaps fixed antique commodes for the Christmas break. Even if you don't plan on using the commodes during the festive season, it makes sense to by whilst many online retailers are having sales on not only their commodes, but all disability and elderly domestic products. Of course if you wanted to decorate your commodes and make them more christmasy there's many ways to do this, perhaps fairy lights around the handles and base? Or a bit of a christmas tinsle to really get the person sitting on the commode in the festive mode. Although, a somewhat novel idea, it could be a lot of fun, brightening up those plain and mundane toilet commodes and giving them a festive makeover!

Automatic washing systems versus manual bidet washing

Depending on what country or even continent you live in, you may be more familiar with automatic bidets rather than manual bidets. It also boils down to personal preference, and what you've been accustomed to. There are those who prefer manually scooping a pan full of water to wash their derrière, and there are those people who find the automatic fan jets cleansing their behind perhaps more therapeutic. The automatic washing systems generally tend to set you back a pretty penny as well, anywhere from $300-$1000 depending on the features and functions. Whereas a manual bidet, is perhaps more affordable at around the $150-$200 mark. Its better to go with the large ceramic bidets with ample coverage area when it comes to manual washing bidets, and go for a well known manufacturer as oppose to a cheap and cheerful one.

The range of features and functions that come with many automatic bidets can be somewhat lavish, so its fundamental to do your research before buying and get the most bang out of your buck. A lot of them, nowadays, will come with therapeutic spa jets as standard making for a very clean, and comfortable experience.

Whatever, bidet you choose, make sure its kept clean after use with the use of anti-bacterial sprays and clothes - ensuring that your bidet will keep you clean and healthy. Get a few quotes before, committing to a particular one, and find out what the manufacturer's warranty is.

Why isn't there much information on the net about commodes

As I've run this blog for quite a few months now, I've noticed in my research that there really isn't much information out there on commode toilets especially modern commodes. Just product catalog pictures with some brief information about the specifications of the commode chair. There is occasionally, the odd novel design from creative designers either real or imagined which have their unique designs and are often implemented in upmarket condos, hotels, and so forth. If one really wants to find out some substantial facts about commodes, and a bit about the history the library is as good as any other place to start. Simply go to your local library and they will be able to tell you exactly what informational resources they have on commodes.
