Is it possible to contaminate the wands while using toilet?

It is, but careful use and regular cleaning works well.If the question refers to the extreme case of spreading infectious disease in-depth disinfection should be indicated [I've no experience on that].

Good question. The instructions say you should remove the bellows for cleaning. I can't see any way to do that. But after a year of not having cleaned it, I havn't been poisoned so I'm not too concerned.

I was trying to figure a way to do that today. The only thing I could come up with was to possibly install a shut off valve on the T that goes to the unit. I don't know if that would affect the toilet too or not. It would be nice if it had a pressure adjuster on it. I just try to not pull the handle all the way up but it is very touchy.

Just put toilet paper on the seats. Hovering causes spattering which causes gross toilet seats in the first place. The more you know! =D

It may be so. I am not using on the hand helds. You plumber may be able to help.

Yes, you're likely asking for trouble if you dump it in your kitchen sink. We just dump it down the toilet. Far larger pipes there. I doubt the mucky liquid and hairballs you're getting are any worse than what normally goes down the toilet.

yes you have to hold the wand with hand and turn it off with the other. it can be done with diffuculity with one hand

Please don't!!! The problem is, they are NOT intended for sewer pipes or septic systems and will not break down as toilet tissue does. Eventually, there will be an expensive clog to fix. This is a huge problem, subject of a recent NY Times exposé. Turns out that even the kinds labeled as "flushable wipes" do this and cost the city and homeowners millions each year, and the problem is escalating as more people use them. Instead, I spray a special cleanser designed for this (Aloe Vesta perineal cleanser ) onto a folded pad of toilet tissue instead. These packaged Wet Ones are great to bring along for miscellaneous cleanup jobs, but DON'T flush them! Please don't!!!

You can effectively clean this with a sex toy cleaner. It is recommended you use it before and after use

I replaced the toilet, so the Bemis no longer fit. I actually gave it to someone else who wanted it. Before that, I cleaned it with Clorox to ensure it was completely clean. It did not appear to cause any type of damage or discoloration. This is anecdotal evidence and not a scientific experiment, but it was not a problem for me.

Yes- the lever at the base of the wand (seen in the picture) acts like a fire hose shut-off valve.We've had ours since last October and it works great!

I have the same problem - but the pad does not come off the wand completely - the pad splits in half within a few seconds of scrubbing the bowl and flops around making further scrubbing impossible. The bottom of the pad remains attached to the wand and the scrubbing portion floats free - retrieving it is messy. I will not buy these again.

good observation with the wax seals. The clog is trans the wax seal and when plunge (increase pressure) the toilet the way of least resistance (the wax) gives in. This should not happen with the new seal or only transiently. good luck to all of us. One solution is to unclog with a "snake".

this seems to be a common occurance but it will not be a problem as long as water is not spraying out and making a general mess. Also you could try partially closing the water supply valve to reduce water pressure...toilets do not require high pressure to operate.

It could be clogged. Maybe try taking a pin/needle and poking inside the end of the wand before using it (machine off).

Just untwist wand and install dispenser in place of wand. Dispenser will dispense under low pressure. Replace wand for high pressure cleaning.

Yes it c a n be kept clean easily by not allowing the wand to touch the skin. Even so it is easily cleaned by running a little water through it and wiping it dry with tissue.
