SanaGloss
SanaGloss is a toilet glazing that helps keep the toilet bowl
clean for a lifetime. SanaGloss glazing seals the toilet bowl
with an ionized barrier, creating a super smooth surface. This
non-porous surface helps prevent particles from adhering to
ceramic, while the catalyzed ion barrier actually repels particles
away.
The
difference between a one-piece and a two-piece toilet:
Two piece toilets have a separate tank and bowl, while one-piece
designs have a single, integrated tank and bowl design. One-piece
toilet designs are more popular for upscale residential installations.
| The
First Toilet: The toilet was not
invented by Thomas Crapper as was originally thought but
by an english gentleman named Sir John Harrington, godson
to Queen Elizabeth I. In 1596, he set about making a "necessary"
for his godmother and himself. Harrington unfortunately
ended his career with this invention because of ridicule
from his peers for this absurd device. He never built another
one, but he and his godmother both used theirs. The idea
was not adopted for almost 182 years. |
Toilet
Paper: In 1857, Joseph C. Gayetty
of New York produced the first packaged toilet paper in
the U.S. It consisted of pre-moistened flat sheets medicated
with aloe and was named "Gayetty’s Medicated
Paper".

1739:
First separate toilet for men and women appear at a ball
in Paris. |

In 1973
evening talk show host Johnny Carson made a joke about
the United States facing an acute shortage of toilet paper.
The next day viewers ran out to stores buying every roll
in sight and begin hoarding them and by noon, most stores
were out of toilet paper. Carson apologized the following
day for causing the scare and retracted his quote. |
In
olden days and before toilet tissue was invented, people had
to get creative in matters concerning sanitation.
- Ancient
Rome - Citizens used a stick with a sponge attached to its
end that soaked in a bucket of brine.
- The
wealthy in Ancient Rome used wool and rosewater.
- In
1391, the Chinese Emperor ordered sheets of two feet by three
feet of toilet paper to be made.
- Lace
and Hemp was used by French Royalty.
- Eskimos
used tundra moss if available otherwise they had to make do
with snow.
- Late
Middle Ages The French invented the bidet for proper cleansing.

Strange
Surveys
A
survey was done to determine if respondents were "wadders"
or "folders" of toilet paper. One result was
that 58% of men fold toilet paper and 52% of women crumple
their toilet paper.
Another
survey determined that 49% of the respondents said that
if stranded on an island, and they could take only one
necessity, they would take toilet paper.
