How Do I Use Flush Hush?
Briefly? No wetting required, just press it onto the autoflush sensor glass before sitting on the toilet, then when you’re finished wiping, pull the Flush Hush off, step back (or run out of the stall!), and watch it flush…when YOU are ready.
More advanced description?
First, check if the toilet is a manual flush (has a handle and no autoflush sensor) or an automatic flusher. If it’s an autoflush, open the Flush Hush case (if you practice you can do this with one hand) and remove one Flush Husher from the case. Close the case and leave it dangling from the carabiner. Press the Flush Husher onto the “eye” part of the automatic flush - this is typically black glass with a small circular “lens” somewhere on it. If it’s a figure-8 type of “lens”, stick the Flush Hush on the center of it. Since the “covering” part of the Flush Husher is larger than the part that attaches to the sensor, you just need to roughly place the Flush Husher in the center of where you THINK the sensor is! The big part acts as an umbrella, keeping YOU or your child out of “sight.” I always say to my kids “See? The toilet can’t see you now! It’s safe to go.” When finished wiping, on your own terms (and when your kiddos is far enough away to not be traumatized!), simply pop the Flush Husher off the autoflush sensor, place it in the case, and be on your way. If for some reason the toilet doesn’t flush a few seconds after removing, press the button on the side of the toilet (where the handle used to be found) to flush. Typiclally, non-flushing is a result of a faulty sensor, not the Flush Hush. Once removed, a toilet in working order *will* flush.
How Many Flush Hushes Do I need?
Count up how many sets of car keys, purses, belt bag, man purses, or diaper bags your family, grandma, nanny, use, and be prepared! If you really want to be prepared, to provide consistently while on the go, put one on everything you typically carry!
Does it Work on Every Public Toilet?
We’ve tested it on most every public toilet sensor type, and yes, we’ve found that they work on all the models out there. If the sensor has two possible “eyes” and you’re not sure which to cover, simply use BOTH included Flush Hushers, side by side, to keep the sensor from seeing you and/or your child.
How Do I Clean My Flush Hushers?
You can wash the Flush Hush in the sink with some soapy warm water, and dry with a paper towel or towel. However, remember that autoflush sensors are probably the least-touched items in a public restroom. On the go, squirt some hand sanitizer on it and rub it around before putting the Flush Husher back into its case. The case can be washed same as above.
Where Are They Made?
Flush Hushers and cases are made just north of Atlanta in Georgia, USA. Carabiners are (currently) made in China and we are working on onshore these soon.
Where Did You Come Up With This Idea?
I was sitting on a public toilet at a business conference a while back and it flushed on my butt before I got up to wipe…spraying goodness-knows-what-kinda-water all over my tush! It was humiliating even though no one was there. I instantly began working to solve this problem. That and all 6 of my children have a strong aversion to the public toilet and will only willingly go (a) if it’s a “manual” flusher or, NOW, (b) if we have a Flush Hush on us!
