Urinal Screen 101: Installation, Maintenance, and Benefits

When it comes to maintaining a clean and fresh-smelling restroom, urinal screens play a crucial role. These small yet powerful products help prevent clogs, control odors, and enhance the overall restroom experience. Whether you’re a facility manager, janitorial professional, or business owner, understanding urinal screen installation, maintenance, and benefits can help keep your restrooms in top condition.

Installation: A Simple but Important Step

Installing a urinal screen is quick and easy, but proper placement ensures maximum effectiveness. Follow these steps:

• Choose the Right Screen – Urinal screens come in various shapes, sizes, and scents. Fresh Products carries a wide range of screens, from trough to vertical, so you can select the one that’s right for your facility.
• Unwrap and Inspect – Remove the urinal screen from its packaging and check for any damage, such as tears, which can reduce its effectiveness in preventing splashback.
• Position It Correctly – Place the screen flat over the drain area, ensuring it covers the opening completely.

Maintenance: Keeping It Fresh and Functional

Proper maintenance is key to ensuring that urinal screens remain effective. Here’s how to maintain them:

• Regular Replacements – All our urinal screens are designed to last 30 or 60 days and contain date tabs to remind you when they need to be replaced, which ensures consistent performance.
• Daily Inspections – Check screens for debris or excessive wear and replace if necessary.
• Routine Cleaning – While urinal screens help control odor, cleaning the urinal itself is essential. Use appropriate cleaning products to maintain hygiene.

Benefits of Using Urinal Screens

Investing in urinal screens offers multiple advantages, including:

✅ Odor Control – Most of our urinal screens contain a patented fragrance load and beneficial bacteria that help maintain a pleasant restroom environment.

✅ Prevention of Clogs – Screens catch debris like gum, paper, and other small objects, reducing the risk of costly plumbing issues.

✅ Better Restroom Experience – A clean, fresh-smelling restroom enhances user satisfaction and reflects positively on your business or facility.

Final Thoughts

Urinal screens may be small, but they make a significant impact on restroom cleanliness and maintenance. By installing them properly, maintaining them regularly, and understanding their benefits, you can ensure a more hygienic and welcoming restroom experience for all users.
