Bidet Toilet Seats

Question 1

Are bidet toilet seats sanitary?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bidet toilet seats, which add the features of a bidet to your toilet, are considered one of the most sanitary forms of cleaning yourself after using the bathroom. Bidet toilet seats attach directly on top of your existing toilet, and just like a traditional bidet toilet, use a concentrated stream of water to clean your bottoms, which eliminates or reduces the need for using toilet paper. Home Depot carries a selection of antimicrobial bidets toilet seats that provide an extra level of sanitation and protection from bacteria.

Question 2

Can you add a bidet to an existing toilet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While a bidet is considered a standalone basin from your toilet, there are standalone bidet attachments that can be added to your toilet that bring the features of a bidet to your existing toilet setup. A bidet toilet seat is an extension to your toilet that can be installed directly on top of your toilet, replacing your current toilet seat. Some bidet toilet seats also provides features such as self cleanings and warmed seats. Home Depot provides easy-to-follow installation steps in our guide on installing bidets.
