The best way to clean a urinal: 5 easy steps
1. Get yourself prepared
You should always ensure your safety first when cleaning. When we clean, we expose our skin to harsh chemicals. Making protective equipment as important as cleaning products.
At Galleon Supplies, we recommend wearing nitrile gloves, as these are the most sanitary option when cleaning urinals and bathrooms.
Nitrile gloves from Easygloves are recommended due to their high-quality, fast shipping and excellent customer service.
2. Flush the urinal
This is the initial step in the cleaning of a urinal. This will flush out any debris from the fixture, allowing you to clean out the urinal channel.
3. Apply bleach or toilet cleaner
Next, you will want to apply bleach or a strong toilet cleaner to the basin of the urinal, much like you would a toilet bowl.
We suggest using bleach as it is a highly effective and affordable solution to killing germs.
This will work to kill the germs and bacteria that have spread around the urinal. Additionally, the bleach will help to pick up any stains or dirt with its powerful formula.
4. Clean around the urinal
Cleaning around the urinal is just as important as cleaning inside of it. The tiles and pipes that surround it are also exposed to the germs that come with communal bathroom facilities. Be sure to clean these parts with a microfibre cloth and a high-quality anti-virus spray.
This will disinfect all of the parts you need to, and leave your urinal germ free!
5. Mopping the floor and surrounding areas
Mopping the floors and areas that surround the urinals is equally as important as the toilets themselves.
You should use hot water, a disinfectant and a mop to achieve the best germ-free clean.
