by Shane Henson — April 29, 2013—No one likes an unclean restroom, particularly one that smells like urine, according to Clorox Professional Products Company. Per the results from the company’s two surveys of consumers and cleaning professionals in regards to public restrooms, three in four American consumers are disgusted by both urine odors and stains in public restrooms. In addition, the survey found that cleaning professionals report they are not satisfied with existing products to tackle these issues.
To help address this, Clorox Professional Products Company has introduced Clorox Urine Remover, a product specially formulated to effectively remove stains and break down urine to quickly remove—not just mask—odors. The product does not contain bleach and is intended for use on porous surfaces such as grout and concrete, and soft surfaces like mattresses, carpet and upholstery. It is also an excellent pre-treatment for laundry and bedding, says Clorox.
As Clorox explains, urine odor comes from naturally occurring microorganisms and uric acid crystals. Clorox Urine Remover uses hydrogen peroxide to eliminate odor by destroying uric acid crystals and breaking down the cell structure of naturally occurring sources of odor. It also removes stubborn stains quickly with the stain-lifting power of surfactants and solvents.
The product has already been proven to work in the smelliest of bathrooms.
“The locker rooms at our stadium often smell bad, even after we’ve cleaned them,” said Zach Walter, operations manager of a metropolitan-area minor league baseball team. “This product really solved the problem. It eliminated odors that had persisted for months and also helped with stains in urinals and toilets.”
