More flushing makes it worse
The most common response to the problems with wet urinals is to increase the volume of water flushed or to use automatic flushers to flush more frequently.

More water means more water scale, which creates an even more favourable environment for thriving bacterial colonies. More water also means more wastage, at a huge cost to business and to the environment.

Sanitising doesn’t work in a flushing system
Automatic sanitisers are sometimes connected to the flushing system to kill bacteria living in the drain. However, the volume of water required for flushing over-dilutes the sanitiser and renders it ineffective. Sanitisers rarely prevent the build up of uric scale.

Deep clean treatments are temporary
Deep clean treatments use strong acids to soften uric scale so that it can be scraped off. This improves odour problems temporarily, but does nothing to prevent uric scale reforming immediately after treatment.

Deep clean treatments can be expensive and the acids used are hazardous to handlers and to the environment.

Deodorisers just mask the smell and introduce new risks
Deodorant blocks do not sanitise or disinfect, but they can be used to cover up the bad smell in urinals.

These products carry a poison rating of S6 and pose a significant risk to health and the environment.

They dramatically increase the rate at which uric scale forms and can physically clog the urinal drain.
