The Question of Whether Towel Racks Belong to Sanitary Ware

Sanitary ware refers to appliances used for cleaning the body, kitchen, and bathroom, such as toilets, washbasins, and showers. Whether towel racks, as devices for storing towels and cleaning supplies, belong to this category has been a subject of debate.

From a practical standpoint, while towel racks are not directly used for cleaning the body, their function is to provide a more convenient cleaning environment, similar to that of sanitary ware. Furthermore, like other fixtures in bathrooms and kitchens, towel racks are closely related to people's hygiene and daily life. Therefore, to a certain extent, towel racks can be classified as a type of sanitary ware.
