American Standard’s ActiClean self-cleaning toilet has earned a Gold 2017 A’ Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware category. Reflecting a top score in its category, this distinction is awarded to only the highest three percent of designs submitted to this international competition.

Entries in the A' Design Awards are peer reviewed and anonymously judged by a jury panel of academics, press members and professionals. The revered Gold A’ Design distinction designates a top-level product design that provides value, utility, functionality, aesthetics, efficiency, sustainability and performance.

“To receive recognition of our efforts from an esteemed international competition like the A’ Design Award is a true honor for our organization. We are very proud of this well-deserved accolade for our creatively talented product design team,” said Maha El Kharbotly, chief marketing officer of LIXIL Americas, the global business unit under which American Standard operates.

ActiClean is the self-cleaning toilet that removes stains with the press of a button. It employs the power of VorMax flushing technology with a fully integrated, user-activated self-cleaning system.

The ActiClean toilet has also been recognized with the 2016 GREEN GOOD DESIGN Award in the Green Products category.
