Urinal Salt Remover Concentrate - Safe on Pipes and Plumbing, Odor Control, Cleans Rust, Scale, and Uratic Salt Build-Up, 1 Quart

So, here's the thing—my family runs a small business, and let's just say we have our fair share of urinal upkeep issues. That's why we decided to try Detco Urinal Salt Remover Concentrate. Honestly, it was a bit of a gamble, but wow, did it pay off! The product is as straightforward as they come. You apply it, and, like magic, it starts transforming stubborn build-ups into this powdery substance that rinses away with barely any effort. It sounds too good to be true, I know. Actually, I was skeptical at first, but in my experience, this concentrate makes the whole maintenance process feel like a breeze.One thing I've really come to appreciate is how safe it is on our pipes and plumbing. I tend to think not having to worry about any damage while getting rid of uratic salt build-up is a massive bonus—especially in a busy family-run establishment like ours. I remember just last week, chatting with one of our staff members, and we couldn't stop talking about how this cleaner has changed our cleaning routine for the better. It's made life simpler, cut down on maintenance time, and boy, does it control odors like no other.In short, Detco's product is a worthwhile investment for anyone facing urinal maintenance woes. I'd definitely recommend it without a second thought.

I have a standard Kohler urinal with a Sloan flush valve installed in my sons' bathroom. For 14 years it provided trouble-free, odor-free performance, even with frequent use by boys with less than stellar aim, from their toddler years into college. (All male visitors make a point to patronize the fixture, too; it's quite a novelty.) Standard products like Clorox Lemon Surface Cleaner have always done a fine job keeping it looking and smelling clean. I have never used urinal mats, cakes, traps, or any type of industrial product.A few months ago, I noticed that the urinal began to have a lingering odor, not unlike the one in a London Underground men's toilet, even after scouring it with disinfectant. The clear fresh water in the bowl would also cloud up over the course of the day, even with no use. I did a major cleaning job in the hidden rims and notches in the bowl to remove any invisible scale and lime, trying Bar Keeper's Friend and eventually a heavy bath of CLR with a narrow stiff scrub brush (apparently it only takes one or two crystals of uratic salt stuck in lime deposits to make it smell as if the gents regularly whiz all over the floor and let it dry there). I then tried a product that seemed promising, also available on Amazon, called Nilodor Urine Digester, an enzyme-based cleaner. It smells nice and would do the trick but only for a few flushes. That gallon has since been re-appropriated to the basement for the cat litter box area, where it does a great job on my feline's human-like accuracy problems.Lots of research suggested that urinals need special TLC to avoid this very problem, but almost all uratic salt cleaners are only available wholesale to commercial customers. I was skeptical about this DETCO product (decent but mixed reviews) and not super stoked about the price, either, but gave it a whirl. I bailed the water out of the clean urinal to fully expose the drain hole, poured about a third of the bottle of DETCO in, and let it sit for six hours. It only has a mild chemical odor, which is nice for home applications. The level had gone down a bit after the soak, so I added a few more ounces, scoured the bowl, and let it sit two more hours before flushing a few times.I was happy to discover that after 24 hours, no odor returned, even when I stuck my face right down near the fixture surface. We cautiously started to use the urinal again, and after 48 hours, multiple uses and flushes, no odor. Apparently the smell was mostly coming from the drain where 14 years of salt buildup had been accumulating. A quick chat with a plumber friend confirmed that this product, whose active ingredient is glycolic acid, is actually better than the more caustic hydrochloric/sulfuric acid-based products for industrial use because it works just as well (just slower) and is safer on the fixture's seal as well as my septic system. He said once it's odor-free, an occasional treatment with just a few ounces of product should do the trick.Hope it works for you as well.

Left it at 100% strength and it took 3 treatments to complete the job. Product worked with some scrubbing

Amazing!This worked very well!I emptied the toilet to the last drop of water with a wet and dry vacuum. I poured the whole urine dissolve bottle and let it soak for 48 hours, and yes , I have two toilets, and IT WORKED!!!Look at the pictures.

Didn't work

Works great I used it to clean the hard water in my bathtub that typically was hard to clean I poured the product on let it sit for a few hours and just sprayed it off.

The product doesn’t work very good, but repeating the process over a few times…actually until it was all gone, it did clear the blockage. Used twice as much as instructed.

Definitely not well working. Used a different brand the first time and decided to try this "concentrate " and it did basically nothing to dissolve the urine salts. Will not buy again.
