HOW IT WORKS

Why toilet splash happens.
And how to catch it.

How the Stache Mesh catches the splash, how to install it in three steps, and how to keep it fresh for months.

SEE IT FIRST

Same bowl. Different ending.

Without a Stache

Nothing to catch it.

So it goes everywhere.

The stream hits open water and the water has nowhere to go but up and out. Onto the rim, the seat, and the floor around it. It builds up between cleans.

With the Stache

Caught at the mesh.

Your stream passes under the Stache and lands in the water like always. The splatter that rebounds hits the mesh and drops straight back in. Less splash, less cleanup.

THE MECHANISM

Splash happens. Here is where it goes.

You just saw it. Here is why it works. Splash comes down to one thing: a stream hitting open water. The water has nowhere to go but up and out, onto your floor and your seat.

THE STACHE MESH

Splash goes up. The mesh catches it.

The green surface is a dense mesh of tiny cells facing down into the bowl. Your stream passes under it and lands in the water like always. The splatter that rebounds hits the mesh instead of escaping, and every cell catches a piece and drops it back in. Less mist for your floor. Less spray for your seat.

THE MUSTACHE SHAPE

The handlebar isn't just for show.

The Stache mounts to the back of the rim and hangs into the bowl. The crease at the center is your aim point, and everyone aims for it regardless of height. That gives you the steepest, cleanest angle into the water, with the mesh sitting right where the splatter wants to go. Hit the mustache itself and the splash is still minimal.

THREE STEPS, NO TOOLS

Installs in three steps. Holds for the long haul.

Mounts to the back of the rim with nano tape. Grips hard, leaves no marks, and fits any standard porcelain bowl.Watch the install video →

01
30 seconds drying time

Prime and align.

Prime the back rim with the adhesive promoter wipe. Place a sticker at 11 and 1 o'clock, dotted line on the top edge of the curve.

The bottom edge of each sticker is your height line. Get this right and the rest follows.

02
Centered, no gap

Peel and position.

Peel both liners off the connectors, pulling down and away. Line the connector tops up with the sticker bottoms.

GET THIS RIGHT
Before you press

Set the height.

Connector top meets sticker bottom. That is what sets the height, and it is the one part of the install worth slowing down for. Mount it too high and you will feel it when you sit down.

03
20 seconds

Press and hold.

Press both connectors firm and even for 20 seconds.

* The nano tape reaches full bond strength after 24 hours. Use the Stache right away, but hold off on cleaning or wiping the connectors until then.

AND THAT'S IT
The last thing

Done.

Peel the stickers off the rim and throw them away. Set the guest guide on the tank so everyone else knows where to aim. That is it.

SIX SIMPLE STEPS

Keeping it fresh.

It lives in the bowl, so cleaning is easy. One rule: skip the harsh sprays and the bleach.

01

Clean the lower bowl

Non-spray cleaner on the bowl below the Stache. Gel, drop-in, or pourable. Let it work as directed.

// step 01 · lower bowl
02

Brush and flush as normal

Brush and flush as normal. There is plenty of room to get the brush under the Stache.

// step 02 · brush + flush
03

Clean around the connectors

Spray around each connector, never onto it. Wipe the rim, upper bowl and connectors.

04

Clean the Stache

Spray the mustache with a mild, bleach-free cleaner. Mustache only, never the connectors.

ON THE OFF CHANCE

If something lands on it.

The height and placement keep this from being a thing. But if something does land on the Stache, here is the play.

  1. 01

    Flush first.

    Clear the bowl. Take a breath.

  2. 02

    Spot clean in place.

    Spray with the same mild, bleach-free cleaner. Wait 30 seconds, then wipe with toilet paper.

  3. 03

    Rinse it off.

    Pour water from a cup over the spot until it runs clean. One or two passes does it.

Pro tip

For a fresh scent, lightly mist the mustache with a few drops of lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus in water. Let it dry before use. It will not affect the mesh or the adhesive.

When to replace it

The mesh does its best work when it is fresh. Swap in a new Splash Stache every 6 to 9 months.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you ask.

How does the Splash Stache reduce splash?
The green surface is a Stache Mesh made of thousands of tiny cells facing down into the bowl. Your stream goes under the mesh and lands in the water. Splatter rebounds upward and hits the Stache Mesh, which catches it cell by cell and drops it back into the water with minimal escape.
What toilets does the Splash Stache fit?
The Splash Stache fits any standard porcelain toilet. It mounts to the back of the rim with nano tape.
Will the Splash Stache damage or stain my toilet?
No. The nano tape holds the Stache where you set it and leaves no marks or stains on standard porcelain. When it is time to replace it, every 6 to 9 months, it lifts off easily with no residue left behind.
Can I use the Splash Stache right after installing it?
Yes. You can use it right away, but keep the connectors dry for the first 24 hours so the nano tape can reach full bond strength.
How do I clean the Splash Stache?
Clean the bowl with a non-spray, bleach-free cleanser so you do not wet or dislodge the Stache. Spray the mustache itself with a mild, bleach-free cleaner, then rinse. Spray around the connectors, never onto them, and wipe them with a cloth instead.
Will the Splash Stache start to smell?
Only if you let it. Spray it with a non-bleach bathroom cleaner when you clean the bowl, then rinse. The mesh drains instead of holding liquid, so there is nothing sitting on it between cleans. Regular cleaning, no smell.
What if something lands on the Stache?
The height and placement keep this from being a regular concern. If it does happen, flush first, then spot clean with a mild, bleach-free cleaner and toilet paper. To finish, pour water from a cup over the spot until it runs clean. Usually one or two passes does it. The full routine is in the Clean & Care section above.
How often should I replace the Splash Stache?
With regular cleaning, we recommend replacing the Stache every 6 to 9 months for peak splash protection.
What if I can feel the Splash Stache when I sit down?
If you can feel or touch the Stache while seated, it is mounted slightly too high. Lift it off and lower it so it clears the seated position. Need a remounting kit? Send an email to hello@splashstache.com.
Do the alignment stickers stay on?
No. The stickers are a guide, not a fixture. Once the Stache is pressed on and set, peel them off the rim and throw them away.
