CR members with digital access can also read on for a selection of top-rated toilets. One piece of advice up front: Even though a bidet can reduce the need for toilet paper, it’s still a good idea to pat yourself dry after using one. This protects the skin in potentially sensitive areas from problems associated with excessive moisture, says Allen P. Chudzinski, M.D., a colon and rectal surgeon who is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons.

Bathroom companion for bidets: You can save a pretty sweet chunk of change by running your hot tub’s heater during off-peak hours, or the hours of lowest demand. Not sure when that might be? Check with your utility provider for details. And if you haven’t already, insulate your hot tub . Efficient insulation, combined with heating during off-peak hours, can cut your energy costs. It’ll also reduce the stress on your hot tub’s system and help your hardware last longer. If you’re dealing with hard water as part of your regular hot tub care routine, you already know calcium can accumulate in your jets and cause them to stiffen, clog, or stop working altogether. To help combat the build-up, grab some white vinegar and clean your spa’s valves and jets. The acidic power of the vinegar will dissolve the calcium and get things flowing again. Be sure to rebalance your water chemistry after cleaning, since acids affect hot tub pH and alkalinity levels.

“I originally considered purchasing a handle-style bidet because I was worried that the spray nozzle would get dirty the way this style bidet is designed shooting up from inside the toilet,” one customer writes, but adds, “However, this model solves this issue with the guard and the nozzle cleaning feature for good measure.” The self-cleaning feature on this bidet is an added bonus for many reviewers. “I want to note that the self cleaning nozzle feature with door is a great addition and I think it’s a must have,” one writes, while another says, “I am also pleased that these units are not obtrusive on the toilets and don’t require any special cleaning.” While one says, “Cleaning the device is simple and easy, the self-cleaning nozzles do a good job and I only have to wipe the outside shield if necessary,” they note, “It does make cleaning the bowl behind the device a little trickier, but I am still able to do it without removing the device.” See more details on eco bidets.

Bathroom renovation tips: Undertaking work yourself can allow you to control costs and quality, but don’t be over-ambitious and plan to do more work than you really have time – or the skill – to undertake successfully. You could end up slowing the whole project down and living in a building site for years, which can in turn lead to family conflicts and potentially to accidents. Bad DIY will also cost you dearly, slowing down the other trades, wasting materials, sometimes causing work to be done twice, and ultimately devaluing the property if it is not put right. You can get so tied up in DIY work that you lose focus on running the project and keeping up with decisions.

A bidet that’s a standalone ceramic fixture requires you to remodel and replumb your bathroom to install it. You can also buy a toilet with a built-in bidet and hire a plumber to install it, or buy a bidet seat or attachment and install it yourself. By far the easiest and least expensive way to bring a bidet into your life is with a bidet seat or attachment. Kohler, the kitchen and bathroom fixture manufacturer in Wisconsin, reported an eightfold increase in bidet seat sales this past March compared with the same time last year. Tushy, a startup that offers bidet attachments and is based in Brooklyn, N.Y., says its sales more than doubled this past year. See even more details on this website.
