CARE OF TOILET SEATS
Toilet Seats (In General)
Do not allow abrasive chemicals or cosmetics (such as fingernail polish or aftershave) to come
in contact with the toilet seat, as they can damage the finish
Use a damp soft sponge or cloth to clean the toilet seat. Rinse the seat clean and dry with a
soft towel. Let seat air dry and ensure that the hinge area dries completely.
Plastic or Molded Toilet Seats
Clean the outside surface of your toilet seat with a mild soap such as dishwashing liquid and
warm water. Wipe the entire surface completely dry with a clean, soft cloth. You may use soft
abrasive cleaners when necessary to clean your toilet seat. Do not use strong abrasive cleaners,
as they will scratch and dull the surface. Wipe any splashes of cleaner solutions from plastic or
plated surfaces immediately.

Painted Wood Toilet Seats
Painted wood seats require special care and cleaning. Use only a mild detergent, such as
dishwashing soap.
Wood Finish Toilet Seat
Use a humidifier in the winter and an air conditioner in the summer to keep the relative humidity
at 25 to 35 percent.
Dust with a soft cloth by following the grain pattern of the wood. Use an old clean T-shirt, baby
diaper or cheesecloth. Dust often to remove abrasive particles from wood surfaces. Before
dusting, moisten the cloth lightly. A dry cloth can leave hairline scratches on the finish.
Surfaces can also be cleaned with a mild non-alkaline soap and water. Test the solution on an
out-of-sight sections to make sure it doesn’t damage the finish. Use a damp sponge or cloth and
dry immediately with a soft cloth following the grain.
Use a paste wax every six to twelve months. Remove old wax first with a mild non-alkaline soap
and water solution. Avoid waxing urethane-finished surfaces. Waxing these surfaces cause them
to gather dust and dirt rather than repel it.
