@@AskAngelaBrown There is a video pushing another brand of bidet that is too crude to watch. In fact, I think she loves using the S word. Thank you for having more class.
The bidet is a game changer . It’s great for your girly parts especially during your period . It’s definitely a game changer and you will feel a million times cleaner. It takes about 15 min I have installed about 5. Also if you live in a colder environment for the winter I highly suggest getting the one with the warm water option
I have the second-plumbing-fixture type of bidet with a straight upspray water jet. For a few years, I used a cleaning service that seemed to send different people almost every month. Every single one. of them got sprayed in the face by the bidet, even after being cautioned about it. After they'd been here half an hour or so, I'd hear a screech from the bathroom and just shake my head. Another bidet baptism. Thank you for your content. I think I've just watched six or eight of your videos.
Thank you for a great presentation! I. Have owned the Luxe bidet for three years now, and I would never not have one again! I will insist on one when I move to an assisted living facility in fact! After owning one,NO ONE goes back to life without one! Great cleaning tips offered in a classy presentation are much appreciated! Not everyone does that.
I am so glad I decided to use a peri bottle aka poor man's bidet. Costs less. No installation. Simpler to clean than anything attached to a toilet. Can take the bottle w/me anywhere I go. Does the same job as the hand-held sprayer attached to a hose or the bidet contraption that's on the toilet. But, that said, it's up to each person which they prefer....& it's about time the U.S.A. caught up w/the rest of the world when it comes to cleaning ourselves after going to the bathroom! Very nice, enjoyable video to watch.
Thanks for sharing this valuable tip. I know many people prefer this method. Tell me, how do you take it "wherever you go?" Do you carry it in your purse? I'm thinking concealed carry, portable bidet, lipstick - that's 3 separate purses for me to avoid cross-contamination. LOL. Do tell...
@@AskAngelaBrown There are various ways you could take it w/you. I take a tote w/me w/puzzle magazines in it so there's something to do if I'm away from home ....the peri bottle could be in the tote. A zip loc bag would be easy enough to tuck in the tote to hold cloth tp. Or use one of those cool wet/dry zipper bags...some have a pocket for wet & one for dry. Just put the peri bottle & cloth tp in one pocket & then put the used cloths in the other pocket. So that would just be a purse & a tote. The tote can stay in the car unless you are going to need to use the restroom. And, after all, a peri bottle weighs very little....it won't weigh down a purse or tote. And.....you're so welcome !
We installed one of those bidets on each toilet about a year ago and LOVE them! We did get the ones that connect to the hot water pipe under the sink, that was a game changer! The only part that is kind of hard to clean are the two slots there the bidet attaches to the toilet seat. Great video!
I just checked, the cold water coming out of the cold tap. The water was 48.9 F. That is way too cold for me but some may find it refreshing. So a bidet with a hot water connection is a must. Amazon has them for about $50.00 CAD. You also should get some new spacers that stick on the underside of the seat. This raises the seat up to match the new height increased by rhe thickness of the bidet.
After watching this, I bought one! The only tool I needed was a straight-slot screwdriver. Everything else was supplied. Took less than 15 minutes to install. Whoop-whoop!
Old school, over the rim bidet (warm and cold taps) is also great for washing dirty feet and shaving legs. Was teased terribly when I demanded it be part of our construction but am very glad I didn't yield to the negative comments of the male builders who called it "the butt washer". Have one for the RV too. Even our local truck stop has the fancy bidets.
My first experience with abulations wasn't with a bidet but with a water jug and a Muslim Indian family I nannied for - each of us had a 'rag' that got hung on its own hook in the bathroom to wipe with after we used a jug of water to wash/rinse with. In many Muslim homes and businesses you'll notice a jug of water next to the toilet and its used to pour over yourself like a bidet to wash with after using the bathroom. A fancy butt sprayer really isn't necessary, just a jug of water and a drying clothe : ) Although I will say I do love my fancy butt sprayer with warm water! Well worth the money! And we probably saved thousands of dollars just by using clothes to dry with rather than wiping with toilet paper! Cheers
@@blowitoutyourcunt7675 i have the fancy kind of warm water spraying bidet also but even with that, unless im washing with soap like during a shower, I wouldn’t feel its clean enough to get away with reusing a cloth down there after just swarm water spray. Just like with the hand example, if you got some poop on your hand would you feel clean enough after just rinsing with water to reuse the same towel to dry with? I definitely would still want to use the disposable toilet paper to dry myself. I would kind of be horrified if someone gave me a personal cloth to use after a #2 even with a bidet.
I love my bidet! It's similar to this one just a different brand. It is fantastic for when you come home from work cleaning houses all day with a serious case of the swamp ass to just freshen up and cool down 😂
You were right, I do want one of these and now I'm going to buy one! I'm actually so excited! I've used the hose sprayer one before and I think the idea is fantastic (not the overspray), but I didn't realise they were so easy to install and so cheap too! 😱
I didn't realize they were so cheap either and so easy to install. And I didn't realize after having one we'd want one for every toilet in the house. (We bought one for one toilet to try it out - and then quickly bought 3 more for other toilets in the house) And we wonder "Why did we wait so long to do this?" LOL. Thanks for watching. :-)
@@AskAngelaBrown So life changing! I spent 5 weeks in Thailand and you had to put the toilet paper in a rubbish basket (some unlined) which I thought would be horrible for the cleaner to take out so I just started using the bidet and it was like having a mini shower. You feel so fresh afterwards. All the Thai people smelt great (bizarre for a hot country) so they were clearly onto something good! I thought how could we live in a first world country and not do this more!! Thanks for the great videos - I am a huge fan!
I have the Swash 1000 by Brondell, an American made product. It has all the bells and whistles and is a real delight. It warms the water to your preference, has an air dryer, deodorizing fan, spray settings, heated seat, and adjustable moving nozzle settings. I love this thing. On a hot day a cool rinse is sublime.
Thanks for educating about bidets. They reduce urinary tract infections. I haven't had a UTI since I got one at home. A Hand held sprayer(bum gun) that attachs to the sink faucet is my poor man's bidet. It has an switch so water doesn't go all over the place. Works great for cleaning the bathroom too.
Thanks for sharing this. I haven't seen the bum gun in action - and I can only imagine a 4-year-old trying to make it work without training and there being water everywhere. LOL. I'm so thrilled to know there is a switch for it. :-)
I added one to my toilet a year ago this month. I’ve been wondering the best way to clean it! I did have install problems so I paid a plumber. And I own a force of nature so this is awesome info. Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching. I'm sorry about needing a plumber but so glad you got it installed correctly. And how cool is it that you already have Force of Nature? You're good to go. 👏👏👏
We love our bidet and I was excited to see that you were going to show how to clean it. The most important part to clean are the little nozzles that come down. They get gross. Help! Also, I love Hypochlorous acid/Force of Nature. Yay!
I'm glad to hear you're a fan of bidets! To clean those nozzles, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft brush or toothbrush that can reach into the nooks
I love those toilet brushes with the under the rim brush, I have a Sabco brand one, and it's still going strong after 2 years! I use disposable cleaning and disinfecting in one wipes to clean my toilet, and they go in the little bin beside the toilet. Also, bidets aren't common in New Zealand, so I do use unscented baby wipes, and they are primarily what the little bin beside the toilet is for. The best thing about using baby wipes is you can get little purse packs and take them everywhere. I also use them to wipe down public toilets before and after use.
Great idea about carrying wet wipes with you and wiping down public toilets. I was in a public restroom the other day (that had a bottle of cleaning spray and a toilet brush.) Neither had been used in a while. No one else was in the restroom and the toilet was in pretty bad shape. This nagging voice in my head is like "leave the world a cleaner place..." And so I did. 💩😅👍 Thanks for sharing your great tips.
I'd love to have a bidet in my house. I also only use Bounty paper towels. I even use them in place of tissues if I have a cold, as they hugely reduce irritation when I blow my nose.
Another excellent video! You’re really doing a great service to us all by showing such well thought out ways to keep everything so it is cleaner, lasts longer and done in a timely fashion. Also, I wish my own cleaners cared so much. We don’t have this quality where I am (SW Florida)…I’ve used several, talked to everyone I know and no one is really happy with the quality of their cleaners. When I had my own cleaning business I was righteous treasured. Now that the tables are turned, I can see why I was beloved.
The house cleaning industry can be the wild west. It is the reason we are trying to create some standards in the industry and bring awareness to the craft. Homeowners deserve a cleaner like you. 🙌
They are a game-changer and really up the hygiene game. I do recommend them. (We have 2 different brands in the house but I like the one I showed you here the best.) I won't go into the reasons why... 😂😂😂
And here you are. See how that works? LOL. Thanks for watching. :-) Lots more of the homes have these self-cleaning bidets - where the washlet part cleans itself. Woot Woot!
@AskAngelaBrown mine is self cleaning toilet seat type, and I do use washable drying towels, but my question is, do I need to sanitize the nozzles in any way?
I have the old school bidet in my downstairs bathroom. I can't tell you how many times I was asked what is it? You really appreciate them if you have to do prep for a colonoscopy!
I don’t even have to use toilet paper at all! My bidet actually has a dryer. But even if I don’t use it , I just keep a small soft microfiber cloth to blot things dry. I’m already clean as a whistle! One our 4th, my husband upgraded buying one at Costco. ❤
I love my bidet! It is the best gift I have bought myself ever! I don’t use toilet paper. I keep 7 washrags by the toilet and use them to pat my bum dry. One a day and they get washed at the end of the week.
We love ours we got it just right before the pandemic. We did not have to worry about running low on TP. The rest of our family thought we were wired but now my sister and her family have one and they are glad they have one.
If you don't have one it's easy to think that people who have one are weird. Then when you get one, you think your weird friends are cool, hip, and on the cutting edge. LOL. 💛
I saw this and my immediate thought was to replace your “ick towel” with a Zip-lock bag, seeing that pee can easily soak through any paper towel. Just a thought; love your videos.
You mentioned that the handheld spray is not practical because the water goes everywhere, but I have the unit that attaches to the seat, and that water shoots out from under the toilet seat at the front. I’ve devised a shield to divert the spray that would go under the seat to prevent a floor full of water.
Oh boy, I am not sure what to say - this conversation can go so many ways - most of which will get me in trouble. LOL. I'm so thrilled your shield is working. 😱😂👍
I prefer the stand-alone bidet basin, that I clean like I would a toilet. Toilet cleaner, brush and clorox-type disinfecting wipes. For a bidet, I next prefer the sprayer hose. I have a more delicate model the size of an electric toothbrush. The trick to using the bidet basin or sprayer hose is to straddle the bidet sitting backwards (facing the wall behind the toilet). I never have over spray, but also don't use too much pressure. The bidet you prefer seems less sanitary to me. You never cleaned the nozzles that show, or the nozzle parts that are exposed when in action. These parts are closest to the waste products, and likely very germy.
Thanks for pointing that out...I kept watching for how to clean the sprayer nozzle because that is what I want to clean on my own. I am very careful when using the toilet brush. Paper towels do work well but I am hoping for a better way. I wish I had the room for a stand alone bidet but got a model similar to the one shown here...back during the t.p. shortage...it has been a game changer. I really wish I had one after I had given birth to my babies.
@@caitlincunningham8354 Maybe try disinfectant wipes to gently clean the nozzles. Don't know if you can carefully pull them out of sheath to wipe them.
Watch again, you will see that I went over the nozles with the OXO Deep Cleaning Brushes gently. The nozzles are self-cleaning so they clean themselves after each use. And you gently brush them with the brushes before putting them in your ick pocket.
@@caitlincunningham8354 "I really wish I had one after I had given birth to my babies." YES...I remember using those lame "sitz baths" I use a portable bidet, hand held squeeze bottle with bent nozzle. I can control the direction, angle, etc, and use warm water. Sometimes I'll even add a drop of mild shampoo for a little extra. I had purchased it in a pack of two, I gave the second one to my niece just before she went in to have her first baby, and told her "you'll thank me later"
I am installing a Toto Washlet+ 550e- it’s a skirted Toto toilet with the BEST bidet seat with all the workings hidden in the skirted toilet. It has warm seat, warm water and warm air to dry off the area!! It even has a nightlight, auto flush and lid automatically opens and closes !!!
When you're flipping your paper towels over and opening them and switching them up, you're touching them with your gloves. Then your gloves touch the supposed clean part of the paper towel, which contaminates that.
@@AskAngelaBrown I’d clean the outside of the toilet first, working inward toward the germy parts. Do the nozzles before the toilet rim. They should be treated as sterile so germs don’t spray on anyone. Discard gloves along with the contaminated gloves when finished. I like your ick pocket, but I’d add a fold-top sandwich bag as a liner so the wet brush doesn’t soak the paper towel and contaminate the pocket of your apron. And don’t sanitize the ick brushes in the sink. That would cross-contaminate.
In my country, we have for years had those little showerheads next to the toilet seat. That way you can freshen up easily without having to take a full shower. and no, the water doesn't need to splash all over the bathroom... it's supposed to go down the toilet ..
The bidet nozzles are self-cleaning. If, for some reason, you have other issues, you can spray them with a disinfecting spray and use a soft-bristled toothbrush that you designate for this purpose only. After cleaning the toothbrush - use some duct tape and stick it to the back side of the toilet tank or under the lid, so it doesn't ever get confused and misplaced in the bathroom. 👍
I'm probably either a germaphobe or I got OCD, but everytime I use my toilets in my house (both having a bidet attached to them), I must keep them clean, using a soft toilet brush with toilet cleaner gel to leave no residue behind as well as wiping the seat down on both sides....each and everytime I use the toilet. It must always remain like at a hospital level of cleanliness. The same goes for the sink in the bathroom and kitchen.
I have bidets on all 3 of my toilets and will never go back to paper. I was using baby wipes before the bidet but these are even better. I noticed some feces on one of my nozzles recently though and they say they are self cleaning but it obviously was not able to clear it all. I was wondering if you had any tips for cleaning the nozzles themselves? I went in with a little brush very lightly after spraying my cleaner and it worked but I don't want to damage the nozzle so I thought it best to consult the expert. I love your videos. I just moved into a huge 3k sf home and I have used your tips to help keep it clean on my own. I am so grateful for you sharing your experience. Thank you so much!
Hi Lisa, thanks for your comments, questions and kind words. You did the right thing by cleaning the nozzles gently with a small brush. The nozzles are designed to be self cleaning but in the event that there is ever blockage, soapy water and an old toothbrush (used for nothing else) will do just fine.
They are self cleaning, and if they get mildewy they can be cleaned with disinfecting spray and a paper towel, or your OXO Deep cleaning brushes and then rinsed.
@@joelflores9616 why not put a little disinfectant in a ziplock bag and lift it up to soak them for a bit? You can turn it on and the water will mix with the cleaner and the bag will keep it from blasting you while catching the water. Hold it there for a bit, give it a gentle scrub with an OXO-brush and repeat with just water for a rinse.
Really enjoyed watching someone else clean a toilet, for a change LOL. 1 question tho... why don't you rinse your "icky brush" in the clean toilet water before pocketing it? You might even use the toilet seat-sandwich technique you used for drip drying the main brush to allow it to drip off for a moment while you are cleaning the tank & stuff. Now I need to go find the recipe for your neutral spay solution. Those scrubbing bubbles sprays make it impossible to breath when I use them.
Hi Mike, great suggestion for the ick brushes. The bathroom cleaner we typically use is OdoBan Professional Cleaning 32X Bathroom Cleaner (paid link amzn.to/3UvpvcD - so you can see what I'm talking about.) It does a great job on the exterior of the toilet and tank.
Your videos are awesome. I really don't get how to use a bidet. I need a video where they use a doll or something to demonstrate. If I figure it out, I will get the one you recommend.
The best advice I can give you is to get one and then give it a try. It may take a time or two to figure out how it works and then you'll wonder why you ever waited so long. LOL. Keep me posted and thanks for the kind words. :-)
It would be great to do a video on a Toto washlet that is completely trashed. As in, the space where the wand comes out is impossible to clean. I honestly got very depressed and my washlet is functional, but unsalvagable in terms of getting it clean.
When you say impossible to clean what do you mean? The washlets are made of a durable resin which is usually like a heavy-duty plastic. In a pinch, if you are unsure, an old toothbrush and some warm water with a bit of dish soap should allow you to get any wands clean. The Bidet nozzles are self-cleaning so just turning it on should clean the nozzles themselves. Or are you talking about something different?
I installed, the under seat, bidet several years ago. The only down side is having to go when away from home. I then am in a rush to get home and wash off.
A large glass bowl (?), or plastic bucket, plenty of detergent and water inside the container, let the cloth towel(s) soak, then wash in washing machine. (it's a bit more involved than that, but I do hope you get the picture?).
Thank you for the video. Our new home has a bidet separate from the toilet in the master bathroom. I was looking for instruction on cleaning it when I found your video. Now I understand that I should "clean it like a sink". One of our bathrooms, (bathroom in the basement) also has a urinal. Do you have any special tips for that?

My problem with seat style bidet’s would be that it’s squirting poo water in the direction of the lady parts . If it squirted backwards, it would be better . Women can get all kinds of infections from poo water getting sprayed into the lady parts area . I may be wrong about that . I won’t lie . I’ve had to jump into the shower after number 2 because TP wasn’t cutting it . Ah . The joys of being over 40 🤣.
I was very skeptical about a bidet, but my boyfriend actually got one first and I used it at his house... he ended up buying me one too, lol. I absolutely love it, I feel so much cleaner and we use way less toilet paper than we used to. I hate when I am out somewhere and have to go, because it never fails I always reach down to turn on my bidet and it is not there :( Question though... how do you clean the bidet spouts? You cleaned everything else, but you didn't cover that part.
Bidets are self-cleaning so there should never be any build up on them. You can spray them with your cleaner and gently wipe them down with your paper towel.
@@AskAngelaBrown Okay I will try that... With three teenage boys, one of which has chronic diarrhea/vomiting due to lyme disease, mine is always splattered with yuck. Thank you!
My husband just had surgery on his right rotator cuff. Next week is my turn. No we're not beating each other up. 😅 Our son just spent less than $500 on a bidet that has a remote control for us. Just to make life on the porcelain throne easier for us. 😂 Our other son said we're moving up in life one surgery at a time. 😂 Huh, my aunty say's the same thing about bounty. She doesn't buy anything else. I think my cousin is the same way. 🤔
Cleaning under the bidet nozzle can be challenging, but there are a few methods you can try. Mix warm water with mild soap or a bathroom cleaner and use a cloth or sponge to reach under the nozzle and wipe away residue. Alternatively, use a toothbrush or small brush with the cleaning solution to gently scrub the area. Some bidet models have specialized cleaning attachments for this purpose. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions and turn off the bidet before cleaning.
Nearly every Asian home has a 'bum gun', as do all hotels in Asia...how come nobody ever talks about that...??? It's cheap to install and very efficient, plus it requires very little cleaning. Cheers
You're right, they are a game-changer! It's interesting how they're way more common in some parts of the world rather than the other ones. Thanks for sparking the conversation!
@@cmaniezzz I think you have a great point. However, when you're living in a state where the drought is bad enough to see the largest salt water lake in the west drying up, and your governor is publicly praying for it to end, and watering grass restrictions, a bidet probably isn't the best choice. Again, I love the idea of a bidet but it's not good for droughts, or regions in a drought. I would love nothing more than a water cleaned butt lol.
Thank you! Ever since I got a bidet I can’t live without one. But I do find gunk builds up inside the toilet rim behind the nozzles and I can’t properly reach that area to scrub it off. Do I need to remove the whole bidet attachment to access that or is there a tool that could bend around and reach there?
Thank you for your question. You could try using a long, narrow brush or a flexible cleaning wand to reach behind the nozzles. In case that doesn't work, you might need to remove the bidet attachment to access that area properly for cleaning
If you have a toilet riser or booster seat on the toilet you may not be able to use a portable bidet. I guess it would depend on both the model of the bidet and the model of the booster. The screws that bolt it to your toilet can easily be found up to 6 inches. There is, however, a bolt extender that looks like this amzn.to/2U2V4Rc and you would put one on one side of the seat, and then depending on the rise of the medical device, you would put another screw in the opposite side of the bolt extender. (So the bolt extender is in the middle and a long screw is attached on both ends. Does that make sense? )
I thought bidets were a worldwide thing until I moved to UK. Used one since I can remember. I was taught since little to wash myself as you explain with a bidet. Never really give a thought about bidets in my life. They were there. Oh, boy, how I missed it!!! The thing is, there were considered "fancy" ( fancy? , are we talking about cleaning my bum and have some comfort in my periods???) Of course, is the kind of fancy theme of chit chat to bring in a dinner. Like: "Oh! the lobster is really really lovely, just how when I wash with warm water my lower parts after using the loo, don't you feel the same, dear.?" ) Now Im in my home country again. And have again my bidets in my bathrooms. Oh, yeah. Relief. Out of curiosity, maybe you will like to know is commom here to use it also to comfort feet with salts after a long day or to leave clothes in water and soap all night. Its works in our homes like a bucket, but in porcelain with hot- cold current water installed. Here we do not separate the toilet bowl from the bath/ shower, sink and bidet. And the tiles run floor to ceilling, in the entire bathroom. So I feel free again to use tones of bleach to clean absolutely everything. Smells safe and clean for me. Well, and our washing machines are in the kitchen. Well, I think it is a great initiative of you bring the use and the concept of using a bidet or instead the machine you propose. I really enjoy your videos and your approaching to different matters. You are good help, you make me smile, and always, always sound so, so professional. Its a very bright and rare combination to find. Kudos!!!
The bidet nozzles are self cleaning and if you need an extra clean - you can spray them with your disinfectant spray you are cleaning the toilet with and wipe them with a paper towel.
Cold water Bidet, no thanks. Do you know how cold water gets in winter?? Even in summer, I'm not spraying THAT up my business!! We have the Brondell Swash, it's more money, but it plugs in, has a ceramic heater, a dryer, and my whole family LOVES it!
I am getting 2 TOTO Nexus Washlets+ - heated seat, endless heated water, heated dryer, self cleaning nozzles and self cleaning bowels- so no toilet paper is needed at all.
Hi Kimberly, the nozzle is self cleaning. You can wipe it down when wiping the rest of the edges of the bidet with a paper towel. If you need to, you can use the OXO Deep Cleaning Brush when you do the frame of the bidet.
We've been using bidet for years ... but we only put it in the master bathroom.. so when that bathroom is used and you need to 'go', it sucks to go to the other bathroom and just wipe with wet toilet paper.. ughhh... I feel dirty .. lol
Hahaha...too funny! But I understand. Once you get used to using a bidet, using a regular toilet is not the same. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
The bidet nozzles are self-cleaning, if you still have a need to clean them, when the toilet lid it up and you're spraying the plastic part of the bidet with your disinfecting spray, spray the nozzle and wipe it clean with a paper towel. If you need to, use an old toothbrush for the nozzle heads to do more detailed cleaning.
If your toilet develops yellow stains from waterlines, it's best to keep an eye on cleanliness and maintain both the bidet and toilet regularly to prevent any issues. Happy cleaning!👍
I don't know why, when it comes to cleaning the different bidets, people would want to use paper cleaning products to clean the bidets!? It comes under "counterproductive". Why?? Wouldn't you want to save as many trees as possible??? (I would.).
If you are referring to the bidet you can add to your toilet, you can spray the little bidet nozzles with cleaner and use the OXO brushes to carefully brush off any yucky stuff as needed. Thanks for watching!
Nice opening to the video!!!! And such cute emojis 🤣😂🤣 And I appreciate that you’ve explained all the options…..you crack me up when you mention the 9 steps…. How do you clean your butt………….with a wash cloth, cheap easy and thorough!! 😍🥰😍
