July 2021 Updates

Please enjoy a picture of an old commode we recently saw in a US vintage market! It even has supports for sliding a chamber pot under the seat, which we though was very neat.

FLUSH wishes you and your loved ones a safe and clean July!

Also, we still want your travel toilet pictures.

We have had a lot of great progress this month, with new classes, new clients, and new publications. Please enjoy a summary of all of our exciting updates.
