Why do urinals look unpleasant?
The waste outlet in normal urinals usually remains in place for the life of the urinal. After awhile, limescale and yellow urine deposits fur up the waste outlet so that it becomes unsightly. The scale becomes a breeding ground for foul bacteria, increasing smells, which makes cleaning and maintenance tasks even more unpleasant than is necessary. In many public establishments, the effects of stubbing out cigarettes in urinals means that the waste outlets look old, burned and sometimes even fragmented. Blocks or mats only add to the shabby appearance and the cycle of cleaning neglect is perpetuated. Also, stains on the bowl itself are unsightly. These are usually caused by limescale build-up from water, because of the high frequency in flushing.
