Why do girls not use urinals?

Unlike men, women cannot simply pull down a fly to urinate. Their pants must be lowered for them to bend and use a urinal. The female anatomy also means that toilet paper is imperative for completing the urination process. If bent at the waist to stand and urinate, the toilet paper would need to be handy.

How often should urinal screens be replaced?

every 30 days
Urinal screens are disposable and can be discarded after the urinal block in the screen breaks down or dissolves. Since they shrink over their lifetime they provide a visual alert as to when they must be replaced. Typically screens should be changed every 30 days to remain effective.

How are urinal screens made?

A method of producing a deodorizing urinal screen includes a fragrance loading stage in which a plastic is loaded with a fragrance material to produce a fragranced plastic. In a molding stage subsequent to the fragrance loading stage, the fragranced plastic is molded into the urinal screen.

How do you keep urinals from smelling?

The only way to remove the odor is to keep the urinal clean. Air fresheners don’t stand much of a chance against urine. Don’t forget to check the drains. Gunk in pipes can hold the urine smell, so use a foaming drain cleaner or rinse drains with vinegar and water to help eliminate odors.
