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. The bowl includes a flush region and a non-flush region. The controller executes a pre-mist mode and an after-mist mode. The pre-mist mode includes automatically controlling the spray device, spraying the mist onto the flush region and the non-flush region, and forming a water droplet or a water film by causing the mist to accumulate in the flush region and the non-flush region. The after-mist mode includes automatically controlling the spray device to rinse away the water droplet or the water film formed in the non-flush region in the pre-mist mode by increasing a volume of the water droplet or the water film.
