Soft Close Toilet Seat – No More “Bang” Coming From The Bathroom

A soft close toilet seat is one of the latest items to hit the bathroom fixture market. The real benefit of this toilet seat is that the toilet seat and lid will not slam down onto the toilet bowl.  Instead the toilet seat and lid will slowly close and close down on top of the toilet bowl making just about zero noise.

The hinges are most toilet seats are called whisper close hinges which mean they will not allow the sear to slam down for example when it slips out of someone’s hand.  These toilet seats are slightly more expensive that most other toilet seats but for the sake of your ears it is well worth it.

Most of these toilet seats have easy clean hinges, most traditional toilet seats bolt down to the toilet bowl and to remove them you have to un-screw the bolts.  These easy clean hinges are different the bolts attach to the toilet bowl and the toilet seat hinges slide over the bolt and twist lock on. To remove it all you have to do is un-twist the locking mechanism which will easily release the toilet seat so you can clean all around the toilet and seat.
