Default Scientists develop slippery toilet coating to stop poo sticking
The toilet brush need never leave its holder again. Scientists have created a super-slippery coating that helps usher excrement on its way without leaving traces behind.

The spray-on coating, which is slipperier than Teflon, reduces adhesion of even tenacious faeces by up to 90%, tests suggest, so far less water is needed to flush them away and leave the toilet clean.

Researchers at Penn State University believe the coating could slash household water consumption and prevent odours and disease-causing germs from building up in toilets.

“I was very happy to see how easily the faecal matter slid off our coated surface,” Tak-Sing Wong at Penn State University told the Guardian.

Well done!

Progress in the fight against tenacious faeces

I've never needed a brush to clean it yet love. And if I did it would be disposable.

I'd rather die than sit on a public toilet seat. I used to hover... how I've got a she-wee for emergencies :-)

Is that too much information?

He meant the secret bottle of clean urine you keep stashed away in case of random drug tests
