[0042] In another embodiment of the present invention, in many plumbing installations, it is customary to provide flush valves for the urinal fixtures, which are equipped with handles for operating the same to flush the urinal fixture after its use. However, for hygienic reasonspeople using the urinal are reluctant to manually operate the flush valve or neglect to do so and as a result, the urinal becomes foul and noxious and constitutes a health hazard. IT is therefore desirable that some means be provided for eliminating the human element from operating the flush valve and instead provide means for automatically flushing the urinal at periodic intervals. In accordance with the applicant's invention, the manually operated handle on the flush valve is replaced with an automatic means such as an electric device, which provides a hydro-flush system when the user has completed the defecation process. This automatic hydro-flush feature is a powerful system which removes all of the stoppages, impurities and blockages to clean the toilet area effectively.

[0043] In another embodiment of this invention, this invention provides a bidet jet spray system also activated at the touch of a button. The conventional method when using the toilet is to use some type of paper tissue to clean the user after using the toilet.

The bidet jet spray system in Grandma's Helper is carefully designed and keeps the water pressure to level which satisfies the needs of its user and completes the hygienic requirement successfully.

[0044] In another embodiment of this invention, this invention provides an automatic air freshener which releases a beautiful scent to remove unpleasant vapors from the area.
