Bathroom scrubbing may soon be a thing of the past, as scientists from the University of New South Wales in Australia have developed a self-cleaning bathroom. The researchers treated the bathroom surfaces with tiny titanium dioxide particles.
The coating on the bathroom works by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) light. The electrons in the particles of the coating are stimulated, resulting in oxidation that cleans more effectively than any other cleaning agent in killing bacteria and breaking down organic matter.
Additionally, the titanium dioxide-coated surfaces have another characteristic known as “superhydrophobic,” meaning that small water droplets cannot adhere to the surface and roll off while cleaning it.
