What you might not know

If the smell keeps coming back, you're treating the symptom.

Perfumes, bleach and para blocks hide odours for a while. Biological cleaning removes the organic waste that causes them — here's what conventional cleaning leaves behind.

Washrooms & drains

Urinal Smells

It's a common belief that odours in washrooms come from the urinal or the WC bowl. Most odours however, come from surfaces such as walls and floors contaminated with uric salts and not cleaned with the right products.

Pet Urine in Carpet

The carpet cleaning industry states that this is one of their biggest headaches. Extraction does not remove the deep-seated urine contamination. High pressure extraction ('Steam cleaning') risks shrinking carpet, so what's the solution?

There Was an Instant Change

From the initial installation of Sanitaire products there was an instant change to the units in how they operated and smelt. The Biological Cleaner has made a huge difference to three of our troublesome toilet blocks that are constantly busy, one of these is situated in an area surrounded by Restaurants with spicy menus. Prior to Sanitaire you could hardly breathe in these blocks

Venue Has Reduced Water and Enhanced the Amenity

With a few of the products trialled, there were overpowering smells at the end of an event period that were hard to remove and never seemed to be clean, even after the cleaning process was achieved. By the end of 2009 we had settled with the Sanitaire Waterless Urinal System including the Biological Washroom Cleaner and Odour Neutraliser (Bio Cleaner) and Biological Urinal Blocks (Bio Blocks). Even after the drought had broken, Suncorp Stadium has remained using the Sanitaire products. I would recommend the Sanitaire Waterless Urinal System to any Venue that wants to reduce the amount of water used as well as enhance the amenity for male patrons

Within 48 hours of the introduction of Bio-Cleaner the Problem was Rectified

My customer commented after using Sanitaire's biological solution... "The toilets at our centre have never been as clean and fresh smelling. Bio Cleaner combined with a strong cleaning regime has resolved all of our problems". "We have had a problem urinal in our admin building for many years. We have tried every possible traditional solution - strong corrosive chemicals and the like - without success. Within 48 hours of the introduction of Bio Cleaner the problem was rectified and the urinal has remained clean and odourless".
