Smelly urinals and the best way to solve the problem long term
The main cause of bad smells in Gents Toilets is the urinals and potentially the surrounding floor area. There are a number of reasons why urinals can emit a foul odour. One of the main reasons is the presence of bacteria. Urine is a rich source of nutrients for bacteria, and when it is left to sit in the S-Bend beneath the urinal, it can quickly become a breeding ground for these microorganisms. As the bacteria break down the urine, they release compounds that can produce an unpleasant smell.
Another factor that can contribute to the smell of urinals is the presence of uric acid. Uric acid is a by-product of the breakdown of proteins in the body, and it is a common component of urine. When uric acid is left to sit in a urinal, it can crystallise and form a hard deposit known as uric acid scale. This scale can hold onto bacteria and other compounds, making it difficult to remove and contributing to the foul odour.
Fortunately, there is a solution to combat urinal odour:
P-wave enzymatic urinal screens are small, flexible screens that are designed to fit into most standard urinals. They contain a blend of natural enzymes that can over time break down uric scale and other organic matter, eliminating odour at the source. Unlike traditional urinal cakes or blocks, which can contribute to clogs and require frequent replacement, P-wave screens are designed to last for up to 30 days.
There are a number of benefits of using P-wave screens:
- Eliminates odour: The natural enzymes in the P-wave screen break down urine and other organic matter, eliminating the source of the odour.
- Reduces maintenance: P-wave screens are designed to last for up to 30 days, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
- Prevents clogs: Unlike traditional urinal cakes or blocks, which can contribute to clogs, P-wave screens are flexible and will not create obstructions in the drain.
- Environmentally friendly: P-wave screens are made from recyclable materials and contain natural enzymes, making them a more sustainable option than traditional methods.
Overall, using a P-wave enzymatic urinal screen is a simple and effective way to combat urinal odour and improve the overall cleanliness of public washrooms. By breaking down urine and organic matter at the source, P-wave screens can help ensure that urinals remain fresh and odour-free for up to 30 days. Buy Now.
