Like a finely tuned car, regular bidet seat maintenance ensures your WASHLET continues to perform at its best. Whether you’re an experienced user or just starting with bidet seats and attachments, this guide is here to help. Keep your prized possession in good condition with these quick tips.

Before diving in, make sure you have the following on hand; microfiber cloth, gloves, toothbrush, bucket, mild detergent

Tip 1: Cleaning the WASHLET Bidet Seat

Start by dampening your microfiber cloth. Avoid dry cloths or abrasive cleaners to protect the TOTO’s clean resin coating.

Use a neutral or diluted with warm water bidet cleaner for tough grime. Carefully wipe the surface, ensuring you don’t damage the finish. Regular bidet cleaning helps maintain the pristine condition of your WASHLET, making it feel like new each time you use it.

Tip 2: Cleaning the Gap Between the Toilet and Bidet Seat

We recommend a monthly cleaning of the gap between your toilet and WASHLET. Press the quick-release button, gently remove the seat, and clean the area with your damp cloth. Reattach the seat by sliding it back until it clicks securely.

Tip 3: Deodorizer Filter Maintenance

Unplug your WASHLET bidet seat and remove the deodorizer filter by pushing the button on the side of the seat. Clean it with a dry toothbrush, making sure it’s completely dry before reinserting. Even for WASHLET+ models (luxury self-cleaning toilets with bidet seat attachments) regular maintenance is essential. After all, it keeps you feeling fresh every day—return the favor by giving it the care it needs.

Tip 4: Wand Cleaning

Extend the wand by selecting “Wand Cleaning” from the remote menu. The wand will extend into the bowl, gently trickling water over the nozzle, to enable easy cleaning. Use your damp cloth to gently clean it, avoiding pressure that could cause damage. Keeping the wand clean is key to maintaining the hygiene of your WASHLET.

Tip 5: Water Filter Drain Valve Cleaning

Suggested cleaning schedule bi-annually

To maintain optimal performance, it’s important to clean the water filter drain valve every six months. Start by turning off the water shutoff valve, unplugging the WASHLET, and using a flathead screwdriver to remove the drain valve. Clean it under running water, then reinsert and tighten it. This ensures that your bidet water filter remains free from debris and continues to function effectively.

Step 6: Replacing the Deodorizer Cartridge

Regular replacement of the deodorizer cartridge is another essential maintenance task. Approximately every six months, remove the seat, unscrew the cover, and swap out the old cartridge. This simple step is crucial for keeping your WASHLET performing at its best and ensuring a fresh bathroom experience.
