cindaloutx, Cleaning a Toto Washlet is no more difficult than with an ordinary toilet seat. The wand (spray arm) retracts completely between uses. It is automatically washed each time before it deploys, and again, each time after it retracts. Once retracted, there are not rough edges or other crevices or crannies for grime to collect. Otherwise cleaning involves no more than wiping down surfaces, just as you would with an ordinary seat. The wand can be extended to check for cleanliness by pressing a button to extend it. If necessary, you can wipe it down, then depress the button again to retract it. That's all there is to it.
If you buy any Toto model above the basic model, the seat will be equipped with a blow dryer which directs a stream of warm air to the appropriate nether regions. After a quick (and optional) blotting with TP, the dryer will have you on your way after only a few seconds.
