REMOVE ODOURS – AND COSTS TOO
A blend of bacterial spores, completely formulated with dye, fragrance and a biodegradable surfactant system.
THE PROBLEM:
Urinals cost between £250 and £500 in water usage every year. That’s per urinal. So the financial cost is significant. But so is the environmental cost.
Our water and sewerage infrastructure can barely cope and we use potable water to flush loos and urinals while 780 million people have no access to safe drinking water.
The Solution
No, we can’t solve the many and complex issues around water and sanitation overnight but we can make a start and do our bit. Our beneficial bacteria bring unique advantages to washroom cleaning: improved hygiene and odour control in addition to effectively cleaning biological soiling where traditional chemicals preform poorly. Chemicals can’t clean, deodorise and give 24-hour hygiene all in one. Biological products can. But there’s more.
Go Waterless!
With multiple urinals your savings could be significant. Our biological urinal cakes combined with our biological cleaning liquid mean you can switch off the water and the associated bills.
But there’s more. Our biological products are incredibly effective at getting rid of odours and staining – and they are ‘spray on and leave’ so they save labour time too.
Performance
Our mix of strains are selected for their prolific enzyme production and their tolerance across a broad range of temperature, pH and salinity. Facultatively anaerobic.

| Effective temp range | 5°C-50°C (40°F-120°F) |
| Effective pH range | 5.5 – 9.5 |
| Bacterial activity | Facultative (growth with or without the presence of oxygen) |
| Enzyme production | Amylases, Protease, Lipase, Uricase, Cellulase |
How It Works
This is the really clever bit. Urine contains nitrogen in the form of urea and uric acid salts. The ultimate breakdown product is ammonia – which is what makes urinals (and cat litter trays for that matter) smell.
The system is a combination of a simple urinal puck that sits in the urinal, and a biological cleaning spray. This part is important: bacteria don’t like harsh chemicals, bleach or too much heat so it’s important to use the pucks in conjunction with the biological cleaning spray.
The added benefit is it will also get rid of urine stains and odours in grout and on floors.
With so many buidings across our 15-acre estate we’ve managed to save well over 100 tons of water a week – and over 7 tons of CO2 off our carbon footprint. Sustainability is really important to us and to our community of 300+ businesses here at Digbeth – the fact we’re saving money too is a real bonus.
This is so simple to implement and it really works. Our loos are so much more pleasant and the odours have gone. This is a historic building and we were struggling with that. We’ve been working really hard to reduce our environmental impact this year; this one change is saving us literally tons of water, CO2 – and money.
We went waterless with the Radicle system and within a week we were getting positive comments from the team about how the urinal smells had disappeared. The loos are visibly cleaner, far more pleasant – and we’re saving a lot of money on water. It’s also reducing our carbon footprint – which as a business is very important to us.
Spotless | Odour-Free
Natural and safe, biological products digest soils, get rid of odours and keep working when the mop’s put away.
