When it comes to hand washing, “I can do it myself” quickly becomes a favorite phrase among preschoolers. So why not help them out a bit on their way to their burgeoning independence?
A faucet swap is one of the simplest ways to do that. So, if you’re remodeling your bathroom, make sure to add it to your list.
It’s important that bathroom fixtures are easy for a kid to use. Single-lever faucets are preferable simply because they can easily be turned by their small hands, whereas with two-handled ones, they may grab the hot water knob instead of the cold.
With a hands-free faucet, all your kids would have to do is place their hands under the spout. The water would flow and shut off automatically after 30 seconds, also assuring you that they won’t waste water. Another benefit is the pre-set temperature that would prevent accidental scalding.
After all, when planning a kid-friendly bathroom design, you need to think about safety first.
