Help is around the corner! This blog presents you with a solution to eliminate your stinky restroom worry as quickly as saying 1, 2, 3. Read on!
But first, let us understand — Why do urinals stink?
Urine is a waste product produced in human kidneys. It contains urea, trace salts, hormones, and other components that lend a natural odour to it. Uric acid present in the urine causes harmful bacteria to build up inside the urinal. It is this bacterial accumulation that produces odours. Higher the bacterial accumulation, the greater the odour.
To be exact — As per a research article by Udet et al., 2003, urea present in human urine is hydrolysed to result in odour in urinals. An enzyme called urease turns urea into ammonia and carbamate. Carbamate decomposes instantaneously to carbonic acid, forming another molecule of ammonia. The bacteria use the components of urine as a food source, leading to the formation of end products that emanate foul odour.
What is the easiest way to get rid of this stink?
From the above explanation, it is clear that you need a solution that acts every time a customer uses the urinal. The best solution to this problem is a urinal screen. The purpose of a urinal screen is to mask restroom odours. They mask the odour of uric salts that are present in urine.
So, is it sufficient to use any urinal screen? Certainly not! You certainly don’t have the time to confirm the usage of the urinal time and again. This is why you need one that is scientifically tested for effectiveness, is reliable, and has got a thumbs up from commercial space owners for long. You need Crew Urinal Screen.
Why use Crew Urinal Screen?
Because it comes from the House of Diversey. Diversey has decades of expertise and experience in manufacturing housekeeping cleaning solutions. Crew housekeeping portfolio comprises an extensive range of professional-grade products that tackle every cleaning and hygiene challenge.
Crew Urinal Screen is made with recyclable EVA polymer and hence is environment-friendly. It is disposable. It is also economical for everyday usage. Moreover, it is available in four refreshing fragrances — Dewy Green, Lavender Spray, Jasmine Mist, and Melon Burst.
How does a Urinal Screen work?
This urinal screen by Crew works in two stages:
Stage #1 — Acts as a new fragrance system
Crew Urinal Screen does more than simply act as a barrier. It releases a fragrance in a controlled and consistent manner so that when customers use the urinal, they smell a pleasant scent instead of the foul urine. Our urinal screen neutralizes odours so effectively that you don’t need an external fragrance system at all!
Stage #2 — Uses cutting-edge technology
Crew Urinal Screen uses proprietary polymerized fragrances along with a polymer-based delivery system. In Crew Urinal Screen, the fragrance is embedded throughout the volume, not just on the surface of the product.
This is the reason why it releases fragrances over a period of time, not just for the first few days or hours of usage. Also, as the perfume is embedded in the body, it is not washed off with water or urine.
How long does Crew Urinal Screen last?
Usage of a urinal screen is debatable. The durability of a urinal screen depends on:
Customer footfall in the restroom
The volume of water and urine flushed over the screen
Considering all of the above factors, Crew Urinal Screen would typically last for 20 to 30 days, making it economical and effective in comparison to other products in the market.
Directions for Use
Step 1 — Place Crew Urinal Screen on the urinal bowl.
Step 2 —Replace the urinal screen when there is no fragrance left, or when you smell odours in the restroom.
Note: Remove Crew Urinal Screen when using chemicals for cleaning the urinal. Replace the urinal screen when completed with the cleaning.
To Conclude
Simply cleaning your facility’s urinals is not enough. To eliminate urine odors, go beyond cleaning and disinfection of the urinals. Get Crew Urinal Screen to eliminate odour from the restroom consistently without burning a hole in your pocket.
With this urinal screen, your visitors and customers will get to experience a fresh restroom throughout the day. Explore Diversey’s Crew housekeeping portfolio to keep up that benchmark of a clean and pleasant restroom experience.
