Maintaining hygiene in public restrooms is essential, especially in high-traffic areas like airports, malls, and workplaces. The bad odours that often breed in urinals tend to arise from a build up of uric salt.
Two common products to control odor and improve cleanliness of urinals are the Urinal Screens and Urinal Sleeves.

Urinal Screen

A urinal screen is a mat placed over a urinal drain to catch debris, preventing blockages, and often contains deodorizers to control odors.

PROS:
• Acts as a physical barrier to stop items from entering the drain
• Simple to replace, usually cheaper per piece, making them suitable for frequent replacements
• Design for splash back protection
• Available in multiple fragrances, provides additional fragrance for urinal areas
CONS:
• Less hygiene, does not provide a barrier between urine and the user or the environment
• Can become a breeding ground for bacteria if not cleaned regularly
• Lasts up to 35 days

Urinal Sleeve

A urinal sleeve, in contrast, is a connected component that lines the urinal’s waste outlet and trap, using enzymes block to break down uric acid and prevent build-up and odors, leading to better hygiene and water savings.

PROS:

Contains naturally-occurring bacteria to break down uric scale, limescale, fat & solids
Designed for easy replacement and disposal
Lasts up to 60 days
CONS:

Conclusion
If cost and simple odor control are your main priorities, urinal screens are an economical and effective option.
For better hygiene, and odor containment, urinal sleeves offer a more sanitary solution, especially in busy or high-traffic environments.

Both options contribute to a cleaner, more pleasant restroom experience!
