To properly sterilize a toilet seat with a simple configuration which suppresses the upsizing and cost increase of a toilet seat device.SOLUTION: A toilet seat device comprises: a toilet seat; a toilet lid that covers the toilet seat so as to form a predetermined space between the toilet lid and a sitting surface of the toilet seat in a closed state; a mist generating device communicating with an outlet disposed so as to be exposed to the predetermined space, and generating sterilized water mist; and a control device for controlling the mist generating device. In the toilet lid, a peripheral wall part extending to surround at least part of the circumferential edge of the toilet seat in the closed state, is disposed on the circumferential edge. The control device operates the mist generating device to perform sterilization, in the state where the toilet lid is closed, in such a manner that the sterilized water mist is generated and blown out from the outlet.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】便座装置の大型化とコストの増加を抑えた簡易な構成で便座を適切に除菌する。【解決手段】便座装置は、便座と、閉状態で便座の着座面との間に所定空間を形成するように便座を覆う便蓋と、所定空間に露出するように設けられた吹出口に連通し、除菌水ミストを生成するミスト生成装置と、ミスト生成装置を制御する制御装置と、を備える。便蓋は、閉状態で便座の外周縁の少なくとも一部を囲むように延在する周壁部が外周縁に設けられており、制御装置は、便蓋が閉状態で、除菌水ミストが生成されて吹出口から吹き出されるようにミスト生成装置を作動させる除菌処理を行う。【選択図】図９
