Those who are used to wiping the toilet seat with paper should give up this bad habit.
The consequences are serious. Thousands of Japanese have seen this for themselves – they are complaining en masse about scratches appearing on those very seats.
It turns out that the manufacturer of the products released a rather unusual instruction.

For those same consumers who complain on social media that their bidet toilets are quickly becoming covered in scratches.
Also, people in Japan complain about the fact that plastic seats are discolored.
The company's employees rushed to reassure the people, stating that the toilet seats are made of plastic for a good reason.
According to him, the resin is used because it is resistant to detergents.
The second significant reason, in the company’s opinion, is “the ability to form complex shapes.”
It was this man who authoritatively stated that constantly wiping toilet seats with toilet paper leads to scratches.
Over time, they expand and trap dirt, which causes discoloration.
Based on the above considerations, the company urged citizens not to wipe toilet seats with toilet paper.
Instead, people were advised to use a soft, damp cloth with diluted detergent.
They also told puzzled citizens that the issue of replacing the resin for plastic toilet seats is currently being considered.
They are looking for a more scratch-resistant component, but there are no specific plans to introduce any innovations at this time.
