Total Hygiene, the manufacturer of the Clos-o-Mat automatic ‘wash and dry' toilet, has announced it is bucking the trend and holding 2008 prices for the foreseeable future, against current inflation rates of over 2% and competitor price increases of almost double that.

Geoff Richardson, Total Hygiene Sales Director, elaborated, “We always maintain we are a considerate company, and have made a decision not to follow inflation and increase prices. Budgets in both the public and private sector are under pressure, yet the public sector in particular is facing increasing legislative demands, such as the new BS8300:2009 Inclusive Building Design standard. They say ‘look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves': we are putting that into practice, to optimise effective use of available funds.”

The price hold applies to Total Hygiene's core range of the brand-leading WRAS approved Clos-o-Mat Palma and Lima Lift automatic bidet toilets.
