    Bath Products - Latest and Greatest

    Looking for the latest and greatest bath products? From furniture to foot-flushes, these hot amenities add luxury and convenience to the bathroom.

    1. Scrub-A-Dub

    The Sonic Scrubber is a unique, battery-powered cleaning device designed to remove dirt, mildew and scum from tough-to-clean and hard-to-reach places with the push of a button. It is especially effective for cleaning grout lines in showers, corners, shower door tracks, tile countertops, window sills, around faucets and sinks, and anywhere that collects dust and dirt. Clean more thoroughly without the backache! sonicscrubber.com

    2. Pedal Pusher

    The Foot Flush is a retro-fit foot pedal designed for standard toilets. It provides a safe, cost-effective and easy alternative for hands-free flushing. Set up is a snap with three easy steps and no tools required. You just step & flush. Great for kids, seniors, people with special needs and health conscious consumers, Foot Flush is a great addition to ANY bathroom! footflush.com

    3. Soul Cleansing

    Part of the Luxury Collection from Jacuzzi Bath, the Bellavista has been upgraded to incorporate every home spa treatment the brand offers. Combining whirlpool bath function, Pure Air bath system, plus the option to operate both bathing functions simultaneously, the Bellavista will become your favorite way to relax after a stressful day. jacuzzi.com

    4.Contemporary Cabinetry

    The new City Collection Contemporary line from NuTone Medicine Cabinets presents four beautiful wood finishes, showcasing contemporary design at its best. Smooth hinges silently guide the door open to present a satin-black cabinet. With mirrors on the inside door and the back of the cabinet, light is reflected into every corner for superior visibility. Timeless in design, this collection is a perfect complement to any bathroom décor. nutone.com

    5. Toothbrush Sanitizer

    Your toothbrush cleans your teeth, but what cleans your toothbrush? New from Violight is the first toothbrush sanitization system. Independent studies prove that the patent-pending VIOlight system eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria that thrive on your toothbrush. And, since it doubles as a sanitizer and holder, it won’t take up any extra space in your bathroom. With enough room to hold four toothbrushes of all sizes, VIOlight is versatile enough to meet all your family needs. violight.com

    6. Functional Art

    Looking for a way to add art to your bathroom? Hand-blown by master glass blowers, the Glass Art sinks from Seattle Glassblowing Studio add style and character to any bathroom. Transforming the functional into the artful, these glass art sinks radiate elegance and style, and enhance both traditional and modern décor. Lighting options designed to match the sinks complete the artistic theme in the lavatory. seattleglassblowing.com

    7. Maximum Visability

    Are you tired of waiting for the mirror to de-fog after a shower? With the Original ClearMirror® you’ll never have to wait again! The ClearMirror is a very thin heater that is adhered to the back of a mirror and wired to the same power supply as the bathroom light fixture. When turned on, the pad heats up and prevents condensation on the surface of the mirror leaving the reflected image clear and fully visible. clearmirror.com

    8. Asian Antiques

    Adding Asian flair is a great way to dress up your bathroom. The Zhou Vanity from Aquavanti is part of the Dynasty Collection, and is from a line of fine, handcrafted vanities in the late imperial Chinese style. The solid wood pieces, many of them lacquered and with pronounced carvings, reflect the skill and versatility of Ming Dynasty carpenters. The various combinations of components allow for maximum versatility in bathroom decoration. aquavanti.com

    9. Warm Wraps

    Because most people like the temperature in the bathroom to be 10-15 degrees warmer than the rest of the house, Zehnder America, Inc., created a unique Towel Radiator. Not only does it provide zone heating for the bathroom, mudroom or any other small room needing a heat source, but it also acts as a towel rack, providing you warm and dry towels around the clock! And because zone heating helps with overall energy consumption, the Towel Radiator is energy efficient and can fit into any green program. Imagine always finding a dry, warm towel at your fingertips! zehnderamerica.com
