Abstract
According to one embodiment, a toilet device includes a flush toilet, a toilet seat, a spray device, a detecting sensor, and a controller. The flush toilet includes a bowl, a rim upper surface, and a water discharge port. The bowl includes a flush region and a non-flush region. The controller executes a pre-mist mode by automatically controlling the spray device to spray the mist into the bowl. In the pre-mist mode, the controller controls the spray device to cause the mist to directly wet a front end part of the non-flush region and to cause an average wetting amount per unit area of the mist directly wetting an upper region of the front end part to be less than an average wetting amount per unit area directly wetting a lower region of the front end part.
