Can a Western Toilet Be Converted to a Squatting Toilet？

Toilets are very common in daily life, but sometimes, after prolonged use, one may consider converting a toilet into a squat toilet. Next, I will introduce whether it's possible to convert a toilet into a squat toilet.

一、Can a toilet be converted into a squat toilet

Yes, a toilet can be converted into a squat toilet, but it is quite complicated and requires significant work. First, the existing toilet needs to be removed, and the surrounding floor tiles must be broken and removed. Then, an approximately 35cm deep pit needs to be dug, ensuring that the pit is larger than the squat toilet itself. After that, the pit should be cleaned, filled with cement and waterproof materials, and once it has dried, the squat toilet can be installed and securely fixed.

二、The correct way to use a toilet

1、After using the toilet, you should close the lid when flushing. Many people overlook this detail during use. If the lid is open while flushing, microorganisms and bacteria from inside the toilet can be instantly sprayed into the air, landing on towels and cups. Therefore, it is essential to close the toilet lid when flushing.

2、The area with the most bacteria is the toilet seat, which frequently comes into contact with the user’s skin. When cleaning the toilet, you should pay special attention to cleaning the toilet seat. It is recommended to wipe the seat with diluted household disinfectant every few days to ensure it remains clean.

3、After using the toilet, promptly clean the waste inside. If not cleaned in time, it can lead to dirt buildup and breed bacteria. Therefore, when cleaning the toilet, lift the seat and spray toilet cleaner inside, wait for a few minutes, and then scrub it with a toilet brush.

In summary：this is the information regarding whether a toilet can be converted into a squat toilet. I hope this helps you. If you want to learn more related knowledge, you can check the Hawkrown website for more information.
