Experience a Self-Cleaning, Effortlessly Clean Toilet: Inside CLEANOVATION® and Its CLEAN SYNERGY® Technologies
What defines a truly clean toilet — one that looks fresh, functions efficiently, and stays that way with minimal effort? Clean should be automatic, consistent, and sustainable. That vision led to CLEANOVATION — a term coined by TOTO by blending clean and innovation to define a new standard in toilet design.
CLEANOVATION describes a purposeful approach to bathroom technology that helps reduce cleaning tasks while supporting user comfort and environmental sustainability. Because clean is more than a visual result — it’s a standard of living — CLEANOVATION brings that standard into your everyday bathroom experience.
Clean supports peace of mind and daily well-being. It feels refreshing and reflects care for both people and the planet. CLEANOVATION translates these values into action through thoughtful design and innovative features that keep toilet surfaces fresh and clean with less effort.
How CLEAN SYNERGY Creates a Self-Cleaning, Low-Maintenance Toilet
To deliver on the promise of CLEANOVATION, TOTO developed the CLEAN SYNERGY system — five advanced cleaning technologies that don’t just work together, but enhance each other’s performance. This powerful system prevents waste buildup, reduces stains, and minimizes the need for scrubbing or harsh cleaning products.
By reducing water use, chemical reliance, and daily upkeep, CLEAN SYNERGY supports a low-maintenance toilet experience — ideal for busy homes that value efficiency, comfort, and sustainability.
1. PREMIST®: Helps Waste Slide Away Easily
Before each use, PREMIST sprays a fine film of water across the bowl’s interior, helping prevent waste from sticking to the ceramic surface. The mist interacts with the bowl’s hydrophilic finish, making it easier for waste to rinse away during flushing.
By reducing the chance of residue clinging to the surface, PREMIST supports a toilet bowl that stays cleaner longer. This feature also helps minimize the need for constant manual cleaning and chemical sprays between uses.
2. CEFIONTECT®: Smooth, Durable Surface Resists Waste
CEFIONTECT is a ceramic glaze engineered to smooth over the microscopic ridges found on toilets’ porcelain surfaces. Its ultra-smooth finish leaves no place for waste to cling and helps the bowl rinse more effectively with each flush.
In addition to resisting stains and mineral buildup, the hydrophilic surface enhances water flow and makes cleaning noticeably easier. CEFIONTECT contributes to a clean toilet bowl while maintaining long-term durability and appearance.
3. TORNADO FLUSH®: Thorough Cleaning with Less Water
TORNADO FLUSH uses two angled jets to create a powerful, rapidly rotating stream of water that reaches every inch of the bowl and rim. This 360-degree rinsing action removes waste and debris more effectively than traditional downward flushing systems and uses far less water.
The TORNADO FLUSHING SYSTEM delivers a complete, quiet flush in a single motion — supporting both a clean toilet and a more efficient, environmentally conscious bathroom experience. It’s a smart option for anyone seeking a high-performance, water-saving flush that removes waste first time every time as it cleans the bowl.
4. RIMLESS Design: No Hidden Spaces for Waste to Linger
Traditional toilet designs include a box rim punctuated with rim holes, which can trap waste in hard-to-clean areas. The RIMLESS bowl design by TOTO eliminates that issue by removing the box rim and creating a concave rim that allows water to flow freely across every surface during the flush.
This open, seamless design supports easy-to-clean toilet bowls and eliminates hidden crevices where buildup can occur. It’s ideal for anyone looking for the best toilet for easy cleaning without the need for extra tools or effort.
5. EWATER+®: Electrolyzed Water That Automatically Cleans the Bowl, Wand, and Under-Seat After Every Use
EWATER+ is chemical-free, electrolyzed water that helps maintain cleaner surfaces by spraying automatically after every use and during standby. It’s safe for people, reverts naturally to plain water, and supports a fresher toilet with less effort — while protecting the planet.
This chemical-free toilet cleaning system helps maintain visibly clean surfaces throughout the day — automatically, with no manual effort. EWATER+ is designed to reduce odors, minimize residue buildup, and keep the bowl, wand, and under-seat area (NEOREST) continuously fresh and clean.
Why CLEAN SYNERGY Is the Smarter Side of CLEANOVATION
CLEANOVATION is the vision — CLEAN SYNERGY is how it works. These five advanced technologies don’t just clean; they work in synergy to deliver a self-cleaning toilet that stays visibly fresher with less effort. The result is a smarter, more sustainable bathroom experience grounded in innovation that truly improves daily life.
Each feature makes the others stronger — so together, they create a toilet that stays cleaner, uses less water, and fits effortlessly into your routine.
That’s the essence of CLEANOVATION: a thoughtful, integrated approach to bathroom technology that works better for you — and the planet.
