A Handyman And His Self-Closing Toilet Seat
Alright, we've all heard about self-closing toilet seats. As a handyman, I have to say I didn't realize how adept the toilet seat industry has become in marketing their products. They are cutting-edge marketing geniuses.
In a quick web search, I came across many terms used to describe self-closing toilet seats and the reasons we all should own one. Here are the very latest buzzwords in toilet seat technology. They are branded as: whisper-close, soft-close, self-close, quiet-close, and slow-close and can resist everything including a nuclear blast. In fact, in the event of a nuclear blast, I'll bet the only things left on the planet will be cockroaches and this special toilet seat technology.
According to these marketers, these toilet seats:
Prevent Injuries: I started shaking my head at this one, but then again this technology would have prevented my little brother from chipping his tooth when he was in potty training (don't ask).
Keep Pets Out: I guess this is good, unless you are training your cat to use the toilet by straddling the seat.
Eliminate Noise: I get this one. Nobody likes a slamming toilet lid in the middle of the night.
Increase Hygiene: Have you ever dropped your keys or phone in the bowl?
They even incorporate QRF (Quick-Release Functionality). I'm guessing this is for easy cleaning.
Doesn't it make you just want to race out to get one? If you are so inclined, here is how to install a toilet seat.
