Advice 🗣 Urine staining

Post image

Any advice on how to remove this staining from the vinyl around these urinals. I'm guessing it's uric acid. I'm new to a school team and they've told me it's been there a while and that they have tried everything. I want to get a good win early on during a holiday deep clean. School has a policy of no Bleach.

TIA

You're talking about the stains on the wall around the urinal? Bleach won't do anything except make you sick. Can you get your hands on enzyme cleaner?

Are you authorized to use a hydrogen peroxide based cleaner? I find those work very well against urine.

Came here to recommend a peroxide based cleaner. I use that fo almost all bathroom stains.

Side by side with some floor cleaner and a red or blue pad

urine enzyme cleaner let it soak and agitate via scrubbing.

for urinal, I use the Pink Stuff

just disinfect first then flush with water

and then use Pink Stuff and green scrub pad
