Easy to clean The rimless design utilising VitrA's patented Rim-exTM technology dispenses with one of the most unhygienic aspects of traditional WC design, where hard-to-clean rims can harbour germs allowing them to multiply unchecked. The unique design incorporates a water diverter to direct the ﬂush around the bowl. The diverter can be removed easily for cleaning. The WC can be cleaned with one single wipe making it both practical and efﬁcient. Rim-exTM technology is also 95%* more hygienic compared to a standard WC. *According to tests undertaken by Akdeniz University, Turkey.
