If this new technology also picked up my sons' skid marked drawers from the floor,I'd be happy!

So it's a self-disinfecting bathroom, not a self cleaning bathroom. And here I was imagining some robotic/water stream contraption thing that made it look spotless...

Already done, I think Tim Allen had one of those in "Home Improvement".

[Iwo Jima]

Husbands have had these for years.

As a mom of three boys, 4 if you included my husband this sounds great.....I am happy with the removable toilet seat that I bought at Lowe's .....as good as marksman they are when hunting they can't seem to hit the toilet

There are some titanium nitride coatings avvailable on knives that supposedly stay activated in any light to kill all bacteria and viruses.

LOL ! I know what you mean!

My S-I-L swears she will marry the first man she meets that knows what the back of a toilet looks like her. I told her she can't marry her brother..........

I was thinking they could coat every square inch of the interior of a house with this stuff, put a big drain in the middle of the floor, sprinklers in the ceiling, and a person could just hit a button when he left in the morning, and come home to a spotless house in the evening... Like a giant dishwasher.

Being a single guy, this is outstanding. Put me down for 2 bathrooms and a kitchen! :-)

I'm still waiting for my Linux-powered toaster.

And my flying car.

All I want is a true self cleaning litterbox. And no, none of the automated ones work well.

And because surfaces coated with titanium dioxide have another property called 'superhydrophilicity' -- meaning droplets do not form -- water runs straight off the surface, washing as it goes.

Yes, indoors, it will require a water stream. Beats having to scrub, or knowing somone never did scrub when they were supposed to.

I have patented a technique for self cleaning laundry as well, especially suitable for bachelors.

What you do is leave filthy clothing in a huge mound, akin to a compose pile. The bacteria eats all the dirt and grime, leaving the clothings totally clean. The exothermic reaction from the bacterial colony generates heat which removes all wrinkles from the clothing.

Don't you already have a blowtorch? ;-P

No doubt, this new high tech toilet is a result of threatened tightened border security and a fear over the lack of finding an illegal alien to do a job Americans won't do.

I like your thinking. However - what about the linens and upholstery? Guess all would have to be vinyl. Something to think about - I could grow to love vinyl.
