Restroom Hygiene With The P-Wave® Slant6 Urinal Screen
Restroom Hygiene With The P-Wave® Slant6 Urinal Screen
You deserve restrooms that are fresh, clean, and kind to the planet. And so do your customers, colleagues, or guests. The P-Wave Slant6 urinal screen is built for enhanced restroom hygiene. It tackles these frustrating issues with restrooms, all while being gentler on the environment:
- Odours: They linger long after the restroom has been cleaned. Traditional urinal screens don’t do much to help. Many only mask the smell, leaving the underlying cause untouched.
- Splashback: Uncontrolled splashes lead to wet floors and stained walls, which are not only unhygienic but also unpleasant to look at. Worse, they create a breeding ground for bacteria.
- Maintenance: Keeping a restroom clean and fresh takes effort. Conventional urinal screens often make this harder. Poor designs lead to clogs, frequent replacements, and wasted time. Every extra minute spent dealing with restroom issues is a cost—both in money and resources.
Key Features of the P-Wave Slant6 Urinal Screen
Virtually zero splash technology
Splashback isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a hygiene hazard. It spreads bacteria, creates mess, and demands extra cleaning. The Slant6 solves this problem at its source. By controlling splashes, it reduces the spread of germs and makes cleaning faster and more efficient.
How does it do this?
Unlike flat designs, Slant6’s angled bristles direct liquid away from walls, floors, and your shoes. Splashes are drastically minimised, leaving the restroom drier and cleaner. You won’t need to worry about those irritating stains creeping up walls or puddles forming underfoot. It’s precision engineering with hygiene in mind.
Fast Setup
Have you ever installed a product only to realise it’s upside down? Frustrating, isn’t it? That won’t happen here. The Slant6 is double-sided, with a unique “Anyway Up” feature. Whether you’re in a rush or new to the product, there’s no wrong way to use it. The design makes installation so easy, you’ll be done in seconds.
The Slant6 isn’t flimsy or wasteful. It’s built to last a full 30 days, withstanding heavy use without losing effectiveness. That’s a full month of dependable performance, with every feature doing exactly what it’s designed to do.
High Fragrance Load
A urinal screen might not scream “aroma,” but the P-Wave Slant6 does. It’s not your average air freshener slapped onto a restroom product. It’s five times more fragrant than most competitors.
Many restroom products start strong but fade fast. By the end of the first week, you’re left with a faint smell—or worse, none at all. The Slant6 is designed to maintain a vibrant, fresh scent for a minimum of 30 days, no matter how busy the restroom gets.
There’s something for everyone. Mango offers a sweet and tropical burst, while Ocean Mist brings a fresh and airy vibe. Prefer something comforting? Cotton Blossom is light and clean, perfect for creating a soothing atmosphere. For a touch of warmth, Spiced Apple delivers a subtle, festive spice. Feeling adventurous? Cucumber & Melon pairs freshness with a juicy twist. And if florals are your go-to, Honeysuckle is as delicate as it is inviting.
These scents are carefully developed to stand out without being overpowering. They work in tandem with the screen’s beneficial bacteria, tackling smells at their source. That means fewer complaints, a more pleasant environment, and a restroom that feels fresher for longer.
Compatibility and Functionality
The P-Wave Slant6 fits into virtually any restroom setup, making your job easier.
Take waterless urinals for instance. They are becoming more common in public spaces, and for good reason—they save thousands of litres of water each year. But they come with unique challenges, like odour management. Slant6 works with waterless systems, maintaining freshness without the need for constant rinsing. Beneficial bacteria in the screen actively break down the organic matter that causes odours. All this happens in the drain, tackling the problem where it starts.
Its smaller size means it fits more urinals than its predecessors or many competitors. Whether you’re using it in standard units or even trough systems which are often trickier to manage, it performs without compromise. The bristle layout is carefully arranged to work across all these formats, adapting seamlessly to different spaces.
The Slant6 also pairs perfectly with urinal sleeves and domes, if your system uses them. This compatibility means fewer worries about buying separate products for different setups. It’s a one-size-fits-all solution that actually works.
The Importance of Sustainable Solutions
Restrooms aren’t exactly known for being eco-friendly. But they can be.
Globally, over 300 million tonnes of plastic are produced annually, and less than 10% of that is recycled. Much of it ends up in landfills, contributing to long-term pollution. Restroom products, including many urinal screens, are part of the problem. They’re often made from non-biodegradable materials, used once, and thrown away.
The P-Wave Slant6 uses up to 15% recycled content (depending on the fragrance) and features the Ecopure® additive to accelerate biodegradation in landfill conditions. Independent testing shows it achieves 68.9% biodegradation in just under five years—a significant improvement over conventional plastics that can take centuries to break down.
Recyclability of the end-product is another big win here. While many urinal screens end up as non-recyclable waste, the Slant6 is fully recyclable where facilities exist. This gives you an easy way to contribute to circular waste management. It’s practical, achievable, and impactful.
Design matters for sustainability too. Smaller, efficient designs reduce material usage without sacrificing performance. The Slant6’s compact size means it fits more urinals while using less plastic than many competitors. This not only reduces waste but also cuts the product’s carbon footprint during manufacturing and transport.
What about air quality? Conventional urinal screens can release harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the environment. These compounds contribute to indoor air pollution, affecting the health of both restroom users and cleaning staff. Low-VOC products, like the Slant6, address this by using safer, cleaner materials without compromising on performance.
The Splashback Problem
Urine is a cocktail of urea, uric acid, ammonia, salts, and various waste products. When urine hits the floor, these compounds start to interact with the surface immediately. Uric acid, in particular, is notorious. It doesn’t dissolve in water and tends to crystallise when left to dry. These crystals bond tightly with flooring materials, especially porous ones like concrete or tile grout.
Ammonia adds to the chaos. As urine ages, urea breaks down into ammonia, which increases the pH. This highly alkaline environment can damage certain flooring materials over time. It weakens the integrity of the surface and makes it more prone to stains and discolouration.
The salts in urine also play a part. As they dry, they leave behind residue that hardens like cement. This residue traps bacteria and odour molecules, embedding them into the floor. Even if you clean the surface, these deposits often remain, requiring specialised cleaning agents to remove them completely.
How Floors React to Urine
Different flooring materials handle urine differently. Porous surfaces, like concrete or grout, are like sponges. They soak up the liquid and hold onto it. The result is persistent stains that are nearly impossible to scrub away without industrial cleaners. Over time, these areas turn darker, creating unsightly blotches that signal neglect.
Non-porous materials like vinyl or sealed tiles fare better, but they aren’t invincible. Urine can seep into seams, edges, or even tiny cracks. Once it gets there, it’s hard to remove. Plus, the acidic and alkaline components can still degrade the surface, causing dullness or warping.
Then there’s wood. If you’ve ever dealt with urine on wooden floors, you know it’s a nightmare. Wood absorbs urine quickly, and the liquid penetrates deep into the grain. Over time, it discolours the surface, and the odour lingers no matter how hard you scrub.
When urine splashes back from urinals or toilet bowls, it’s not always visible. Tiny droplets can scatter over a surprisingly wide area, landing on floors, walls, or even shoes. These droplets dry quickly but leave behind concentrated deposits of uric acid and salts.
The problem is worse in high-traffic restrooms, handling hundreds of users per day. Each person contributes a little splashback. Over weeks or months, these small amounts build up into a significant problem. The floor becomes sticky, smelly, and stained, creating a poor impression for anyone who walks in.
That’s where solutions like the Slant6 Urinal Screen come in. By reducing the amount of urine that reaches the floor, it can help maintain a cleaner and more hygienic restroom environment.
Odours: The Unseen Problem
Urine odours are persistent. Even after visible stains are gone, the smell often lingers. Its compounds evaporate into the air, creating that unmistakable “public restroom” smell.
Bacteria love urine. Once it’s on the floor, bacteria start breaking it down. This process releases foul-smelling gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulphide. The longer urine sits, the worse the smell becomes.
Floor materials also affect odour retention. Porous surfaces trap urine and make it harder to eliminate the smell. Even non-porous floors can hold onto odours if they have cracks, seams, or rough textures. Proper cleaning and odour-neutralising products are essential to combat this issue.
The Impact of High-Traffic Areas
In busy restrooms, the problem multiplies. High traffic means more urine, more splashback, and more odour. Cleaning schedules can’t always keep up, allowing stains and smells to set in.
Over time, this creates a cycle. Stains make the restroom look dirty, which leads to less frequent cleaning. Less cleaning allows stains and odours to worsen, further damaging the floor and creating an unpleasant environment. By P-Wave Slant6 reducing splashback and releasing a fresh scent, it helps manage the problem at its source.
Cleaning Challenges
Urine stains aren’t easy to clean. Standard mops and cleaning agents often spread the mess around rather than removing it. Worse, some cleaning chemicals react with urine, creating even stronger odours.
Enzymatic cleaners are often the go-to choice. They break down uric acid crystals and neutralise odours. However, they require time to work and may not be effective on old, set-in stains.
Scrubbing with abrasive tools can damage floors. That, especially delicate ones like polished stone or vinyl, creating micro-scratches where urine and bacteria can hide. Subseuent cleaning becomes harder. It’s a frustrating cycle.
The Role of Bacteria
Bacteria thrive on urine. Once it’s on the floor, it becomes a feeding ground. These microbes break down organic compounds in the urine, releasing foul-smelling gases as a by-product. This process doesn’t stop until the urine residue is completely removed.
Some bacteria form biofilms on the floor. These slimy layers protect the bacteria and make them harder to eliminate. Biofilms can also trap urine residues, creating a vicious cycle of stains and odours.
High-touch areas, like around urinals and toilets, are especially problematic. Even if the floor looks clean, microscopic bacteria may still be present. Regular use of disinfectants and specialised cleaning products is crucial to address this hidden issue.
The best way to deal with urine stains is to prevent them in the first place. Installing splashback-reducing products, such as P-Wave Slant6, can make a big difference. Regular maintenance and sealing porous floors also help minimise staining and odours.
Whole Picture Of How the P-Wave Slant6 Works
The bristles are arranged in a carefully engineered slant, designed to redirect liquid and eliminate splashback. No more wet floors, stained walls, or awkward puddles. This product also uses beneficial bacteria to combat odours. These hardworking microbes go beyond masking smells—they tackle them where they start. Odours in urinals are caused by organic matter building up in drains. The bacteria in the Slant6 break down this matter, neutralising odours at their source. It’s a natural, effective way to keep restrooms smelling fresh.
These features work together. The angled bristles manage liquid, while the bacteria handle the odours. It’s an approach that solves problems from multiple angles, giving you better results with less hassle.
A Daily Struggle of Maintenance Teams
Stepping into a washroom with messy urinals is an instant turn-off. You notice it right away. Splashes on the floor, lingering odours, and an overall sense of neglect.
Public spaces like restaurants, airports, and offices rely on good first impressions. You instantly judge the place based on its cleanliness. A pristine urinal? That’s reassuring. A filthy one? That leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
A messy urinal doesn’t just ruin your washroom experience—it tarnishes your view of the entire establishment. This could mean lost customers. No one wants to return to a restaurant where the washroom resembles a battlefield. Cleanliness is part of your reputation, whether you realise it or not.
But cleaning up messy urinals isn’t a glamorous job. Urine stains and odours are stubborn, requiring constant scrubbing and deodorising. The task becomes even harder in high-traffic areas. Stadiums, train stations, and schools see thousands of users every day. Even the best cleaning routines struggle to keep up. When splashback is part of the equation, the workload doubles. Floors need frequent mopping, and odour control becomes a nightmare.
That’s where solutions like P-Wave Slant6 come into play. By preventing splashback and releasing a fresh scent, it lightens the load for maintenance teams. Less mess means more time to focus on other cleaning tasks.
The Financial Cost
A dirty washroom is a drain on your budget too. Frequent cleaning requires more staff hours, additional cleaning products, and sometimes even repairs. For the urinals, constant exposure to the uring causes discolouration and corrosion. Tiles crack, grout erodes, and suddenly, you’re looking at a hefty renovation bill. All because a simple issue like splashback wasn’t addressed.
P-Wave Slant6, with its anti-splash design, keeps the mess contained, reducing wear and tear on your flooring. That’s money saved on repairs and replacements.
Why Odours Matter More Than You Think
Unpleasant smells are a big deal. They stick in your memory and become a mental trigger. If you’ve ever visted a foul-smelling washroom, you know the feeling. You hold your breath, rush through your business, and vow never to return.
They’re a sign of deeper issues too. Lingering smells indicate poor ventilation, ineffective cleaning, or both. And once they’ve seeped into the walls or floors, getting rid of them is almost impossible.
P-Wave Slant6 not only prevents splashback but also produces a subtle, pleasant fragrance. It’s a small detail that makes a big impact on your overall experience. Everyone deserves a clean, functional space for something as basic as relieving themselves.
People simply feel calmer and happier in clean environments. On the flip side, dirty surroundings increase stress and anxiety.
Fixing messy urinals doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple steps can make a huge difference. Anti-splash urinal screens, improved ventilation, and regular cleaning schedules are all part of the solution.
Businesses that invest in these measures see immediate benefits. Cleaner washrooms lead to better customer reviews, higher foot traffic, and even improved staff morale. People notice when you’ve put in the effort. And they appreciate it.
Whether you’re running a five-star hotel or a local café, a clean washroom sends a powerful message: you care about the details.

The entire process takes less than a minute. No trial and error. No need to consult a manual.
Tips for Maintenance
Follow these maintenance recommendations to maximise its lifespan and efficiency:
- Monitor the fragrance: Around the four-week mark, check for signs of diminished scent. When it starts to fade, it’s time for a replacement.
- Inspect for build-up: Beneficial bacteria in the Slant6 work to break down organic matter, but regular cleaning ensures there’s no excess residue. A quick scrub of the urinal during routine maintenance keeps everything fresh and functional.
- Dispose responsibly: The Slant6 is recyclable where facilities exist. When replacing the screen, check local recycling guidelines to dispose of it responsibly.
- Schedule regular checks: Incorporate the Slant6 into your usual restroom cleaning schedule. A quick glance during daily maintenance is enough to confirm it’s working as intended.
The Slant6 is built for low-maintenance, high-performance use. Its durability and thoughtful design mean you can focus on more important tasks while it handles the rest.
Definitely, other care measures also apply for the rest of the washroom, including:
- Daily Checks: You’ve got to stay on top of restroom hygiene. A quick daily check can save you a lot of headaches. Look for leaks, blockages, and supply shortages. Stay proactive; it’s better than reacting to complaints!
- Stick to a Strict Cleaning Schedule: Consistency is key. Clean restrooms at least twice a day. More often in high-traffic areas. You’d be amazed at the difference regular cleaning makes to user satisfaction and overall cleanliness.
- Use the Right Cleaning Agents: Not all cleaners are created equal. Use products specifically designed for bathroom fixtures to prevent damage and ensure effective cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that might erode surfaces or harm the environment.
Attention to detail matters. Focus on often-missed spots:
- Behind the toilets.
- Base of the toilet and urinal pedestals.
- Door handles and light switches.
These areas can harbour germs and detract from the overall cleanliness if overlooked.
- Invest in Good Quality Supplies: Cheap can be costly. Investing in high-quality toilet paper, hand soap, and hand towels improves user experience and can actually reduce waste and save money in the long run.
- Maximise Air Quality: Ventilation is vital. It helps control odours and manage humidity. Ensure your exhaust fans are working correctly and consider air fresheners or odour neutralisers. P-Wave Slant6, with its fragrance-release technology, also assists in maintaining a pleasant smell.
- Bump up the tech: Consider touch-free dispensers for soap, towels, and water. They minimise contact and help keep the spread of germs at bay. Automated fixtures can also help in managing resources more efficiently.
- Regular Replacement of Consumables: Don’t wait until the last minute. Regularly check and replace consumables like toilet rolls, hand soaps, and the P-Wave Slant6 as well.
- Education and Signage: Educate users on proper restroom etiquette with clear and friendly signage. Encourage hand washing and proper disposal of sanitary products. Information leads to cooperation.
- Handle Repairs Promptly: A dripping tap or a non-flushing toilet? Fix it fast. Delayed repairs can worsen problems and decrease restroom appeal. Regular maintenance checks can help catch issues early.
- Adopt a Responsive Feedback System: Listen to user feedback. It can provide insights into areas needing improvement that you might not have considered. Implement a simple way for users to report issues.
Ensure restrooms are safe:
- Non-slip mats by sinks.
- Adequate lighting.
- Safety rails in disability-access toilets.
By integrating these straightforward maintenance measures, you’ll boost the functionality of your restrooms and enhance the comfort and satisfaction of users.
The EcoPure® Advantage: Smarter Plastics for a Healthier Planet
EcoPure® is an organic additive that integrates directly into the plastic manufacturing process. It attracts microbes when placed in environments like landfills, where these organisms thrive.
- Microbial Attraction: EcoPure® makes the plastic more appealing to microbes, which begin colonising the surface.
- Enzymatic Breakdown: These microbes secrete acids that weaken the polymer bonds in the plastic.
- Energy Conversion: The microbes consume the carbon backbone of the plastic as a food source, breaking it down into simpler molecules.
- Final Stage: What remains is not microplastics but biomass, carbon dioxide, and methane—all components that naturally integrate into the environment.
This process transforms the plastic into organic material within years instead of centuries. Compare that to standard plastics, which can linger for hundreds—or even thousands—of years.
Even better, the Slant6 doesn’t compromise on performance. The Ecopure® additive works behind the scenes without affecting the product’s strength or functionality. You get all the benefits of a durable, reliable urinal screen, with the added bonus of knowing it won’t contribute to landfill overload for centuries.
Other products from the brand also treated with EcoPure® retain their full functionality until disposal. They’re non-toxic, safe for use, and 100% recyclable, adding another layer of environmental responsibility.
Savings That Add Up
With the Slant6, you’ll replace screens less frequently, reducing your overall costs. Think about it: a screen that lasts 30 days means fewer orders, less waste, and less hassle. Over time, those savings add up.
Its low-maintenance design also plays a role in keeping costs down. By reducing splashback and odours, the Slant6 lowers the demand for extra cleaning supplies and labour. This isn’t just a product; it’s an investment in efficiency.
The P-Wave Slant6 isn’t just better—it’s smarter. It tackles problems that other screens overlook. While others fade quickly, it keeps restrooms fresh for weeks. Where others struggle with hygiene, it prevents splashes and messes. And while some screens only fit certain systems, the Slant6 works everywhere.
This is a product designed for results. You’ll notice the difference from day one, whether it’s the pleasant aroma, the cleaner surroundings, or the reduced maintenance.
