Responsible Urinal Screen Standards

why urinal screen standards matter.

Facilities are judged on the state of their washrooms. Floors around urinals that are wet, stained or starting to smell damage confidence in the whole building. Clear urinal screen standards give you a simple way to control drips, puddles and bad smells, support cleaning teams and make it easier to keep washrooms looking cared for day after day.

U-R-IN® urinal screens are designed to help facilities move from “fit and forget” to a predictable, repeatable standard – from how screens are fitted, to how often they are changed and how they are handled and disposed of.

Recyclable U-R-IN® urinal screens are already used in demanding washrooms where standards and consistency matter.

U-R-IN® urinal screens are designed to be part of a responsible approach to washrooms:

Recyclable construction - U-R-IN® screens are made to be recyclable where local facilities accept them, helping to reduce the number of single-use items going straight into general waste.

Quadruple action design - the unique drip-catching design reduces floor splashes and puddles, helping cleaners keep floors drier and easier to maintain.

traffic appropriate urinal screen options

Traffic-appropriate options - screens can be chosen and changed based on washroom traffic, helping you keep standards more consistent across low, medium and high-use sites.

By standardising on one recyclable urinal screen across your sites, you make training, stocking and change-out much more straightforward.

handling, change-out and disposal responsibilities.

Urinal screens work best when they are part of a simple, written standard that cleaning teams can follow. That usually covers:

How to fit the screen correctly so it sits securely and catches drips effectively.

How often to change the screen based on time in service and washroom traffic, not just when smells become noticeable.

How to handle used screens, including gloves, basic hygiene steps and where to place used screens in line with local rules.

How to dispose of used screens, taking into account recycling options, waste contracts and any site-specific policies.

U-R-IN® supports this with clear guidance and simple, consistent design so your teams are always handling the same urinal screen format.

You can find more on installation, change-out and handling in our Help Center FAQs.

cutting drips, puddles and bad smells.

Drips, puddles and persistent bad smells around urinals are not just a cleaning frustration – they are a visible sign that washroom standards are slipping.

A responsible urinal screen standard should aim to:

Drip-catching U-R-IN urinal screen sitting in a urinal and reducing floor puddles

minimise splashes and floor staining around urinals.

keep urine where it belongs – in the bowl, not on the floor.

reduce the time cleaners spend repeatedly mopping the same areas.

complaint reduction with standard urinal screens

reduce complaints and negative comments about washrooms.

The drip-catching design of U-R-IN® screens helps capture more of what would otherwise land on the floor or on the front of the urinal. In busy washrooms, this can make a clear difference to how the floor looks and how often emergency spot-cleaning is needed.

simple standards for facilities and cleaning teams.

Every facility is different, but most responsible urinal screen standards cover the same simple points:

1. Which urinal screen to use – ideally one recyclable design across all sites.
2. How many screens per urinal – and how they should sit in the bowl.
3. How often screens should be checked – for placement, condition and dates.
4. How often screens should be replaced – for example every 30 days in standard washrooms, sooner in heavy traffic.
5. What to record – such as date fitted, date checked and date removed.

U-R-IN® screens make it easy to write and roll out this kind of standard and to share it with distributors, cleaning contractors and in-house teams.
