Some Asian countries like Japan and Taiwan have a better handle on bathrooms than America and most European countries, but neither holds a candle to what I have seen here in Korea.Koreans really know how to do a bathroom right!
Take the place we’re renting as an example, it has in the master bathroom, a Jacuzzi with a shower attachment for rinsing down after relaxing in addition to a separate shower stall that is 3’ x 4’. The entire bathroom is 8’ x 10’, tiled to within a couple of feet of the ceiling, and has two stainless 48” x 4” floor drains that run the length of the room.
Cleaning redefines “spray and wash.” Just shoot the whole place down including the toilet and sink with your favorite cleaner, have at the tough spots with a pair of scrub brushes, ( I favor a large area and a smaller detail brush) then grab one of the showers and open ‘er up full blast. All the crud goes down into the floor drains which get a dose of cleaner too. Of course you do have to move the toilet paper and anything else like towels out of the way, but the whole process can take less than 15 minutes, and the bathroom is spotless when you’re finished, and there is a mischievous fun to hose down things you would normally use a sponge on your knees to clean.
Everyone enjoys the Jacuzzi, but especially Winter who has found a whole new use for shampoo, which he has explained to me that professional bubble blowers prefer for bubble blowing.
The Korean style bathroom is decidedly a “take away” to Hawaii when we return: never again will I bathe or clean a bathroom like a heathen.
