BathEmpire’s showers use nanotech to clean themelves
I have always thought that showers were self-cleaning. They are, after all, splashed liberally with water on a daily basis. When I mentioned this to the Lady, though, she pointed out that things in the bathroom do actually have to be cleaned by humans. Who knew?
The self-cleaning nano shower from BathEmpire, on the other hand, is self cleaning. The shower enclosures feature a nano coating that means you’ll never have to pick up a bottle of Ajax again. It works in two stages. The first stage is a photocatalytic reaction caused by ingredients in the coating. These interact with dirt and light and break down the filth you leave behind you.
Second is a hydrophilic coating which attracts water. Instead of running off in droplets, the water “hits the glass and spreads evenly,” taking the newly-freed dirt with it. According to the press blurb, the only thing you need to do is give the screen a quick spray with the shower head after you’re done showering, and it’ll stay “pristine and sparkling.”
It sounds wonderful, and I now know exactly what I’m buying the Lady for her birthday later this year. And maybe by then, BathEmpire will have invented a toilet which puts its own lid down, too. From £200 ($320).
