Question from starlight

We just purchased & brought home a toilet that says it is antimicrobial. Apparently, the entire toilet is treated with whatever makes it antimicrobial, according to the picture. Also, it doesn’t have a wooden toilet seat. What makes it antimicrobial and how safe is this to have in the home?

Debra’s Answer

I would call the manufacturer and ask what they use. Could be triclosan, a pretty toxic chemical.

I was just shopping for a new adding machine (mine broke) and they had an antimicrobial adding machine to eliminate dangerous bacteria on adding machine keys.

Uh-huh. We don’t need antimicrobial chemicals on every single surface.

I love my wooden toilet seat (which, by the way, is naturally antimicrobial).
