Nano Technology may make cleaning Toilets thing of the Past

bestsynd

Researchers from University of New South Wales, Australia, are working on developing a coating that may make cleaning bathrooms less of a chore.

The lead researchers Professor Rose Amal and Professor Michael Brungs of the ARC Centre for Functional Nanomaterials, are hoping to apply a coating of tiny particles of titanium dioxide to keep the toilets clean. Currently the titanium dioxide is being used on outdoor items like self-cleaning windows.

How it works is that ultraviolet light below a specific wavelength causes electrons to excite and this gives the effects of oxidation. This oxidation disinfects better than commercial bleach. It makes it better for sanitation as it is continually cleaning than waiting for the janitor.

Cleaning the toilet isn't that hard. Confused

Then in twenty years they're gonna say that the electrons gave them butt cancer. Just clean the damn toilet by yourself with the harsh cleaners that can eat away your hands, that's what the gloves are for. Wink

But I'm laaaaaaazy! Crying or Very sad

Ass cancer be damned, if I don't have to clean a toilet again in my life it'll be too soon.

This article was the most read article in our syndication - ever. It got thousands of hits the first day. The only one comparable was the Superbowl article.

Looks like the criminal justice system will have to figure out something else for the convicted politicians to do while serving out their corruption sentences in prison. Rolling Eyes

Bring on whatever it takes. I HATE cleaning the toilets. Hate is an understatement. If I never have to clean another toilet it will be too soon.

According to Nicole, she got the information from a University press release.
