Urine smells are found in many homes and businesses. This smell can be hard to pinpoint, often coming from uric salt buildup that collects in hard-to-reach areas. There are a few home remedies and products like Javelin urinal treatment that can help fix this issue. Below we will go through each of your options.

 

Home Remedies for Urine Smell

Baking Soda

Baking soda naturally absorbs odors. You just need to spread it to the affected areas, let it sit for 15 – 20 minutes, and then use a scrubbing brush to get into all the crevice’s. For smells that are really bad, mix baking soda with vinegar for a stronger cleaner.

Vinegar

Vinegar naturally neutralizes odors. You can mix vinegar and water in a spray bottle; you can then spray this on the areas that have the worst smells. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it down with a cloth.

Activated Charcoal

It is known that activated charcoal is better for absorbing smells than baking soda. Adding activated charcoal around areas with bad smells may remove the odors. This is very useful for areas that are hard to clean regularly.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide has also been found to remove odors. You can take a spray bottle and add water to the peroxide to spray on the areas with the most odors. Make sure to test it in small areas because it can bleach certain surfaces.

About Javelin Urinal Treatment

What is Javelin Urinal Treatment?

How Does It Work?
