Abstract
A sanitary washing apparatus includes: a washing nozzle; and a pressurizing device. The sanitary washing apparatus that performs first and second jetting processes alternately jetted with a prescribed waiting time there between. The pressurizing device makes minimum pressure of water in the second jetting process higher than minimum pressure of water in the first jetting process and makes maximum pressure of water in the second jetting process higher than maximum pressure of water in the first jetting process so that the second water mass is faster than the first water mass. The prescribed waiting time between the first and the second jetting processes is set so that before the first water mass impinges on the human body, the second water mass having faster velocity than the first water mass overtakes the first water mass to enlarge jetting water cross-sectional area of the first water mass.
