Some high-level toilets not only have a lot of feminine music for you to choose from, but when women go to the toilet, they can also press the recording and release button around them, and the sound of the toilet can mask the awkward sound of going to the toilet.

The design of the high-level squatting position is very user-friendly, and some of them sit like a single sofa, which is very comfortable to sit on, making people feel a kind of enjoyment instead of going to the toilet. What's more interesting is that some toilet paper rolls are double-layered, and the opposite side is a section of jokes. When you go to the toilet, watching the joke, the toilet person will laugh while watching, which not only makes you feel good, but also helps you. Gastrointestinal motility and excretion.

One thing is for sure: the Japanese see export and import as equally important. When designing toilets in Japan, the Japanese paid great attention to the ventilation and softness of the light. They took toilet deodorization as a modern project. For example, Japanese toilets are clean enough to live in. The toilet is generally divided into three inner and outer suites. The outermost room is surrounded by a sofa, which can be used for smoking and rest. Many toilets are managed by full-time cleaning staff 24 hours a day.

In some scenic areas, there are some high-level toilets. These toilets are new high-level intelligent toilets. It is as if entering an intelligent machine. Both temperature and humidity are controlled within a very comfortable range. When you finish using the toilet, as soon as you press the electronic key next to you, a nice female voice prompt will be issued: Please raise your hips. Then there will be an intelligent sprinkler to detect it, complete the washing, disinfection and drying for you. The last process is to spray a faint flower juice. When you come out, the toilet staff will give you a piece of fine chocolate and a commemorative card that has been used in this intelligent toilet. The commemorative cards are very chic and sophisticated.

It covers an area of 175 square meters and a construction area of 50.3 square meters. The building structure uses a wooden house, a copper plate roof, part of the tile structure, granite flooring, paint for the wall decoration, and fir material for the partition. There are 5 female compartments (1.37m × 0.96m, one Western-style room), 2 male stools (1.35m × 0.91m), 4 male urinals, and one room for the disabled (1.37m × 2.30m). The facilities inside include toilet paper, luggage table, trash can, soap, mirror.

In consideration of the image of the Buddha and its corresponding "purification of the soul", in order to give the impression of "belief, nostalgia, body extension", a Japanese-style house was designed. A part of the copper roof is made of tiles, and the pillars on the front are made of giant fir trees stretched from the "holy place". Wooden lattice windows and skylights are used for special decoration, natural ventilation is used for ventilation, and granite is used as decorative materials on the floor and waist.

In order to protect the environment and eliminate odors, a 88-person toilet unit is installed in a location far from the toilet. The indoor ventilation method uses the natural ventilation method of the ceiling.

For safety reasons, the building materials are made of giant fir and processed with water-soluble ant-repellent. In addition, anti-freezing devices are installed in the water supply and drainage pipes to cope with the cold.

For the mobility-impaired, in the front central position, a sufficient movement space of 3.3m2 is designed for the mobility-impaired, and a wheelchair can be used.

Public toilets Switzerland

Zurich public toilets manage a range of toilets, including those that are hidden or less secretive along the 3km long lake shoreline. Zurich, Switzerland's largest city, is making a determined effort to change the bad image of public toilets. Zurich is proud of its public health facilities; the city wants people to think about them (public health facilities), talk about them, and comment on them. Their addresses and telephone numbers were also made public. Each public toilet is also adorned with the blue "ZüliWC" small sign to create a unified overall identity between the styles.

The 94 public health facilities managed by Zurich Public Toilets today have a variety of looks, ranging from solid stone buildings in the late 19th century to newly built brightly colored toilets in the 21st century. Six are listed as historical monuments, others are in the latest design style-simple unisex sanitary facilities equipped with automatic hand washing equipment and easy-to-clean chrome materials.

Zurich public toilets have always advocated that public toilets should be perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment, even if the maintenance cost of older public toilets is higher. Whether a new toilet is built or refurbished, equipment for the disabled is installed. People with disabilities can apply for a "European key" that opens the toilet door in all participating European countries. Without such a key, the use of these specialized devices will cost 1 Swiss franc. However, public toilets in Zurich will remain free for the public, Bruno said.

He believes that the use of well-attended toilet facilities is everyone's right. Many of the previously unsafe toilets have also been improved: the entrances have been modified to make them more visible, or new lighting has been added.

Public toilets Singapore

Singapore is known for its beautiful environment and orderly city management, and is known as the "Garden City".

In terms of architectural design, public toilets in Singapore are divided into men's, women's and disabled toilets. Disabled toilets are shared by men and women. Most of the men's and women's toilets have no doors. The rational separation of the building is used to set up the entrance to meet the hidden requirements of the toilets, and to avoid the door handles from contacting infectious bacteria.

The interior toilets are set up. The men's toilets are similar to those in the country, and are divided into urinals and stool squats. Most of the women's toilets contain a baby tidying seat. At least one squatting position in each men's and women's restroom is a squatting pan. In a pure public building with a large flow of people (eg subway), all squatting positions are squatting pans.

In terms of internal facilities, they are basically the same as those in China, including wash basins, hand sanitizer boxes, vanity mirrors, hand dryers or hand towel trays, trash cans, and toilet trays are set up inside the toilet. It is worth mentioning that almost no ordinary toilet paper baskets are set in all squatting positions. Only in the squatting positions of women's toilets, there are waste paper baskets that specialize in collecting sanitary napkins and built-in disinfectant.

In the selection of sanitary ware, follow the principle of avoiding contact and transmission to the greatest extent. Both the hand-washing faucet and the toilet use the induction flushing faucet / toilet, or the self-closing flush valve flushing faucet / toilet. Self-closing flush valve flush toilets usually control the valve installation height below 30cm to facilitate valve flushing.

In addition, the function of public toilets in Singapore is gradually developing from the toilet to the whole room and lounge. Many new toilets are equipped with full-length mirrors and appropriate green plants. In addition, the management of public toilets is in place, the environment is clean and tidy, and all facilities can operate normally, which is also the key to the effective functioning of public toilets.

It is believed that with the development of the economy and the improvement of the national quality, through the continuous efforts of sanitation personnel, and to learn from other foreign counterparts, China's public toilet facilities and management level will continue to improve and serve the people better.

If you carry an umbrella, school bag, etc., you will also find a place to hang or place it. The bathrooms in some universities in the UK are generally carpeted, which seems difficult to understand. Because once stained, it will be odorless and difficult to clean. In fact, these rugs look clean, have no odor, and have very little water. It's not easy to do that. The sanitary cleanliness of toilets does not rely on perfumes or cleaners, but on the high self-awareness and self-respect of users.
