Stop Urinal Odors at the Source: How Javelin JL1010 Keeps Drains Flowing and Restrooms Fresh
Foul urinal odors and clogged drains are more than just unpleasant. They create poor customer impressions, increase maintenance costs, and frustrate janitorial staff. Traditional methods like deodorizing blocks or air fresheners only mask the problem, while mechanical snaking wastes labor hours and risks pipe damage.
The Javelin JL1010 urinal drain treatment is engineered to stop urinal odors at the source by dissolving uric salts and calcium buildup that cause blockages and foul smells. With its unique surface protector technology, it prevents future clogs, restores flow, and leaves restrooms cleaner for longer.Â
Why Urinal Odors Happen
Persistent urinal odors are usually caused by uric salts, scale, and calcium deposits forming in pipes and P-traps. These deposits trap bacteria, which release unpleasant smells and lead to slow-draining or completely blocked urinals. Standard cleaners often fail because they treat only surface buildup, not the deposits deep in the drain line.
That’s why you need a professional urinal treatment designed specifically for urinal systems, one that eliminates buildup and keeps drains free-flowing.
How Javelin JL1010 Works
The Javelin JL1010 urinal treatment is a high-performance cleaner with dual action:
- Rapid Dissolution – Breaks down uric salts, calcium, and rust within one hour.
- Surface Protection – Leaves behind a non-stick barrier that prevents new deposits from forming.
- Unlike harsh chemical drain openers, Javelin JL1010 is safe for ABS, PVC, and copper pipes, septic systems, and daily commercial use. With no smoke, no smell, and no heat, it’s ideal for overnight maintenance in high-traffic facilities.
Step-by-Step: How to Use Javelin JL1010
Facility managers and custodians love Javelin JL1010 because it’s simple and effective. Here’s how to apply it:
- Prepare – Ensure the urinal is not in use during treatment. For safety, wear gloves and eye protection.
- Apply – Pour the recommended amount of Javelin JL1010 directly into the urinal drain or P-trap.
- Wait – Let the solution sit undisturbed for 2–3 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Flush – Run clean water to check for restored flow and odor elimination.
- Repeat – For heavy-use restrooms, repeat monthly or biweekly to maintain peak performance.
Tip: For stadiums, schools, or busy restaurants, schedule treatments overnight when restrooms are closed to ensure maximum dwell time.
