How to Get Rid of Bacteria in a Urinal

Restrooms are a favorite breeding ground for bacteria and germs. Urinals, which tend to appear in public restrooms, are convenient for customers and visitors; however, they also tend to gather bacteria on their interior and exterior. Whether you are a professional janitor or a building manager, you’ll need to thoroughly clean any urinals to prevent the spread of diseases among users. Your janitorial efforts will also prevent the buildup of unpleasant odors.
