Back to School: Keeping Campuses Clean & Fresh with URIZAP

As students and staff return for a new school term, maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is more important than ever. Schools, colleges, and universities experience heavy foot traffic, making restrooms a hotspot for odors, blockages, and maintenance challenges. Traditional cleaning methods often fall short, merely masking unpleasant smells instead of addressing their root cause.

The Challenge: Persistent Odors & Costly Maintenance

One of the biggest restroom maintenance issues in schools is urinal blockages caused by uric acid buildup. Over time, these deposits restrict urinal flow, leading to unpleasant odors, frequent maintenance, and costly repairs. A recent case study at a prestigious boys’ school highlighted the severity of this issue:

  • Seven blockages in three months, leading to repeated plumbing interventions.
  • Expensive jetting and rodding services, with some cases requiring complete pipe replacements.
  • Ongoing odors, despite regular cleaning efforts.
  • Increased maintenance costs, putting financial strain on facility management.

The Solution: URIZAP – Advanced Biological Odor & Blockage Control

URIZAP provides a long-term, eco-friendly solution to restroom maintenance issues by leveraging the power of naturally occurring microbes. Unlike harsh chemical cleaners that only provide temporary relief, URIZAP’s microbes digest uric acid deposits at the source, effectively eliminating odors and preventing future blockages.

Proven Results: A Case Study in Action

A distinguished independent school sought an effective and sustainable restroom solution. After implementing URIZAP in all urinals, the results were impressive:

  • Odor-Free Restrooms in Just Two Weeks – A noticeable improvement in air quality.
  • No Blockages After Six Weeks – Eliminated the need for emergency plumbing interventions.
  • $208,800 (AUD) Annual Cost Savings – Reduced maintenance expenses, jetting, and replacements.
  • 3,000,000 Liters of Water Saved Per Year – Supporting the school’s sustainability initiatives.
  • 646kg CO₂ Reduction Per Year – Lowering environmental impact.
  • No More Harsh Chemicals – Providing a safer solution for students and staff.

“Since using URIZAP, we’ve noticed a remarkable difference in the state of our washrooms. This product has enabled us to cost-effectively manage our washroom issues while meeting our sustainability goals.” Cleaning Manager

 

A Smarter Approach to School Hygiene

By integrating URIZAP into restroom cleaning routines, schools can achieve a fresher, cleaner environment while drastically reducing maintenance costs and water waste. This proactive approach ensures students and staff benefit from improved hygiene, and facility teams can focus on preventive maintenance rather than constant repairs.

As schools prepare for the new academic year, now is the perfect time to upgrade restroom hygiene practices. Want to learn more about how URIZAP can transform your school’s restroom maintenance?
