November 19 is World Toilet Day—yes, it’s an official global occasion. Some might wonder, why dedicate a day to toilets? You’ll be surprised to know that the answer signals an important call to action.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about half of the world’s population lacks access to clean and safely managed sanitation facilities. Simply put, that’s around 3.4 billion people. Even more alarming is the fact that roughly 300 million individuals, primarily girls and women, are left with no choice but to carry out open defecation due to a lack of accessible restrooms.
These statistics indicate an expanding problem that needs immediate intervention; it’s not just an issue about waste, but the welfare of humankind is at risk.
No one deserves to be denied proper sanitary access. We must do our part, both stakeholders and homeowners, to raise awareness and advocate for solutions. With the weight of leadership on my shoulders, my goal is to ensure that Wilcon’s progress has a positive impact on nation-building. We are moving toward sustainable options for supplying bathroom amenities for everyone. More than that, we are committed to help in donation drives and directly support campaigns with a beneficial vision for the people and the environment.
Since the bathroom is expected to be frequently visited, we typically prefer compact yet durable home improvements with a sleek, polished finish for easy maintenance and upkeep. A one-piece water closet is the most hygienic solution because its seamless form has no gaps for dirt to accumulate. In addition, modern designs use less water per flush, putting forward eco-efficiency.
Urinals offer a smart option for optimizing space and water conservation, lessening the utility bills. This is especially practical in busy, densely populated areas, while still ensuring the space remains convenient for everyone. Prevent the odor and stains by keeping a toilet brush set close by. This makes cleanups quick and simple at any time.
A hand bidet is becoming a must-buy for homeowners and industry professionals; not only does it cut costs, but it also gives a thorough, hassle-free cleaning. Toss away bathroom waste like razors, packaging, and toiletries while also being mindful of the ecological footprint by setting out an upcycled trash bin.
Way before the pandemic highlighted this practice, proper handwashing has been a necessity to avoid cross-contamination, particularly during flu season. A wall-hung lavatory is easy to install and upkeep. This feature has a range of heights, maximizing accessibility for our personal liking. Finish off a clean and efficient personal care experience with an automatic liquid soap dispenser for cleansing, and save up the cost of towels and tissues by utilizing an electric hand dryer.
No matter what our age, gender, or social status may be, we all need a functional bathroom. As a way to spread awareness, Wilcon Depot will be offering up to 40% off from November 16 to 18 on selected sanitaryware items online and in-store. Our daily routines can be made safer and healthier by selecting the appropriate fixtures and placing importance on the cleanliness of our premises.
Let’s celebrate World Toilet Day with a commitment to improving sanitation facilities for our health, safety, and the environment. Deconstruct the notion that toilets and waste are taboo, unpleasant topics. Better yet, frame it as a natural way of living. By talking more openly about hygiene, we can help reduce the public health crisis and inspire initiatives toward a cleaner, healthier tomorrow for everyone.
After all, there is logic and reason why these places are also called “comfort rooms” or “rest rooms”.
