In this blog article, we offer seven key benefits of using urinal screens if you’re looking to upgrade your restroom maintenance strategies.
1. Odour control
High quality urinal screens can neutralise unpleasant or mask odours by using either using fragrance-releasing technology or enzyme-based screens. A fresh-smelling restroom leaves a positive impression on users, enhancing their overall experience of your business.
2. Splashback reduction
Urinal splashback is unhygienic and unpleasant. Urinal screens minimise this splash, keeping surrounding areas clean and improving user comfort. The screen’s material absorbs the force of the urine stream, preventing it from reflecting and splashing onto users or surrounding surfaces.
3. Drain protection
Urinal screens also protect drains from debris. Unfortunately, items like chewing gum and cigarette butts are often improperly disposed of in urinals, leading to costly blockages and professional plumbing repairs, which can disrupt your workplace or retail space.
4. Enhanced hygiene
Beyond minimising splashback and odour, urinal screens contribute to enhanced hygiene. Their antibacterial properties inhibit the growth of unwanted bacteria, creating a more sanitary restroom environment for your customers, employees, and visitors, and reinforcing a positive impression and experience.
5. Easy installation and maintenance
One of the most appealing aspects of urinal screens is their simplicity. Unlike some restroom maintenance solutions that require specialised equipment or training, urinal screens offer a refreshingly easy and practical approach to hygiene. Installation is a breeze – simply place the screen at the bottom of the urinal, and it’s ready to go. No complicated instructions or time-consuming setup is required.
This ease of use extends to replacement and disposal as well. When the time comes to change the screen, it’s a quick and straightforward process. The old screen can be easily removed and disposed of, and a fresh one put in its place in seconds.
6. Cost-effectiveness
Urinal screens offer a surprisingly cost-effective approach to restroom maintenance. By preventing drain clogs, they significantly reduce the need for frequent deep cleaning and costly plumbing repairs, leading to savings on supplies, labour, and potential downtime. The screens themselves are a minimal investment, especially when purchased in bulk.
