At CES 2020, TOTO showcased how innovation and technology are transforming the bathroom experience. From spa-like relaxation with bath and shower systems to fully connected public restrooms and advanced hygiene solutions, TOTO is redefining comfort, cleanliness, and convenience.
Their latest products combine smart features, eco-friendly technology, and user-focused design, making everyday routines more luxurious, efficient, and hygienic—whether at home or on the go.
RELAXOLOGY
BATH RELAXOLOGY: TOTO brings the science of relaxation and rejuvenation to the pleasure of bathing and showering with products that are designed to harmonize with the rhythms of daily life—invigorating in the morning and deeply relaxing in the evening.
SHOWER RELAXOLOGY: For its Global Collection of Showers and Hand Showers, TOTO offers exciting water technologies designed to provide bathers with showering experiences to fit their mood – the moderate-intensity Comfort Wave, the high-intensity Active Water, and the deeply relaxing Warm Spa.
IOT
IOT COLLABORATIONS: At CES 2020, TOTO will display its latest business collaborations in IoT connected smart systems that improve consumers’ restroom experience—public, retailer, and mobile.
Smart, Fully-Connected Public Restrooms: To provide consumers with a consistently clean, comfortable restroom experience no matter where they travel, TOTO has collaborated with GP PRO, a division of Georgia-Pacific, to innovate the Public Restroom of the Future.
The companies harnessed GP PRO’s award-winning KOLO™ Smart Monitoring System, which delivers reliable, customizable and secure monitoring and analysis of connected restroom fixtures to a dashboard that facility managers and their custodial staff monitor via smartphone or computer.
Facility managers harness this information to dramatically increase consumers’ satisfaction with their public restroom experience and solve real-world business issues to better manage their workforce and make substantial cost savings in their restrooms’ operation.

Good2Go
Secure Access to Modern Restrooms On the Go: In the U.S., the number of public restrooms is insufficient to meet consumer needs. Those that do exist may be in poor condition, and, in some cases, their isolated location can put consumers at risk. To offer an alternative to public restrooms, TOTO teamed with Good2Go, a San Francisco startup, to leverage the Internet of Things to enable consumers to find and securely access a growing network of modern, hands-free retailer restrooms—all from their smartphone.
CLEANOVATION
Cleanovation, which combines the words “clean” and “innovation,” enables TOTO to demonstrate its commitment to the kind of refreshing cleanliness that promotes peace of mind, beauty, and wellness through its technological innovations that enrich people’s everyday lives as they protect the planet. As the company articulates, “TOTO Innovation brings a new world of clean to life, enriching every moment of every day.”
TOTO’s high-tech, intelligent toilets NEOREST and WASHLET+ will showcase their cleansing technologies:
PREMIST: Ensures the greatest possible hygiene from the very first moment. The toilet bowl is sprayed with water prior to use. This film of water over the CEFIONTECT glaze helps eliminate dirt and waste 80% better with each flush. This means less cleaning is required, fewer cleansers are needed, saves you time, and greater comfort.
CEFIONTECT: This special glaze is applied to all TOTO ceramic products before firing, making it far more resilient than post-fired glazes. It creates an ultra-smooth, long-lasting surface that prevents the buildup of mold, limescale, and waste. Its microscopic ridges are smaller than waste particles, leaving no place for debris to cling. The result is a cleaner, more hygienic bathroom, faster and easier cleaning, and reduced need for harsh chemicals all while maintaining enduring beauty and durability.
TORNADO FLUSH: Depending on the model, Tornado Flush uses two or three jets to create a powerful, circulating whirlpool that cleans every inch of the bowl efficiently. The flush directs water in a single, controlled path reaching nearly every surface to prevent dirt and germs from accumulating. With a hole-free rim design and optimized water flow, it combines gravity and water for maximum efficiency, reduces cleaning time, and minimizes the need for harsh chemicals, making it both hygienic and eco-friendly.
3D TORNADO FLUSH: Achieved thanks to three powerful nozzles creating a powerful centrifugal rinsing action, with 0.9 or 1.28 GPF. A high-efficiency system is remarkably effective, saving up to 35% more water than the standard 1.6 GPF. The modern hole-free rim design also means that it performs more consistently and is easy to clean.
DYNAMAX TORNADO FLUSH: Uses 100% of water to clean and rinse the bowl Combines a powerful bowl cleansing and waste evacuation using water that is 100% projected from the rim creating 360° cleansing power. Uses a smaller amount of water more efficiently with a 2.5” trapway and quieter flush. Available in 1.6/.8 GPF, 1.28/.8 GPF, or 1.0/.8 GPF.
EWATER+: The Washlet sprays the toilet bowl with a fine mist before use, keeping the ceramic moist so less waste sticks. After each use, EWATER+, electrolyzed water with a slightly acidic pH, is applied to the bowl and wand. This eco-friendly water repels dirt, prevents buildup without chemicals, thoroughly cleaning areas where stains and waste could accumulate. Pre-mist improves waste removal by about 80%, and EWATER+ is also applied every 8 hours when the toilet is not in use, ensuring the bowl and wand stay clean and hygienic at all times.
Final Thoughts
TOTO’s latest innovations demonstrate that bathrooms can be both high-tech and hygienic while enhancing comfort and style.

Whether upgrading your home bathroom or exploring the future of public restrooms, TOTO’s solutions combine cutting-edge technology with lasting durability, delivering an experience that’s as thoughtful as it is innovative.
