For the highest standard in bathroom cleanliness, the Clorox Antimicrobial Elongated Stay Fresh Scented Plastic Toilet Seat offers premium features, long-lasting durability & quality performance in a timeless design. Each seat is specially treated with antimicrobial protection that inhibits stain & odor causing bacteria in the Lid, Toilet Seat Ring & Hinges. The antimicrobial material encapsulated in each toilet seat component provides continuous protection that resists washing away or wearing off over time for long-lasting durability. This added level of antimicrobial protection helps prolong the life of this design by warding off discoloration and loss of strength due to fungal attack. Featuring an easy to install design, all hardware is included so this seat is ready to use when you are! This unique toilet seat’s odor-controlling design includes a Fresh Scent Pod that can be installed in the housing on the hinge of the toilet seat. Each pod offers the fragrant aroma of Green Meadows and, since the pod housing is close to the source of common bathroom odors, it aids in masking any unwanted scents. Installation is simple, so it makes it incredibly easy to keep this toilet seat smelling fresh and clean! Sturdy, Easy-Off hinges offer a wiggle-free design when in use by securely attaching to your toilet and an easy to remove feature when it is time to clean! Simply flip up the mounting covers on the hinges and pull the toilet seat off to release and remove the seat. When you are finished cleaning, replace the seat and lock the mounting covers back into place. Additionally, the Slow Close lid and seat gently glide closed, helping to prevent loud slams and pinched fingers. Thick, protective bumpers on the underside of each seat help prevent scratches and scrapes on the surface of porcelain toilet bowls. Cleaning is a breeze! Simply wipe down with a soft, damp cloth using mild detergent, avoiding abrasive cleaners where necessary.
