Professional Bio Urinal Blocks 1.1kg
Bio Productions Bio Blocks support routine urinal maintenance by releasing cleaning ingredients and non-pathogenic microorganisms as they dissolve. The biological activity helps break down organic soiling associated with urine smells in traps and pipework. They suit facilities teams looking for a consistent maintenance programme across busy shared washrooms.
The loose-block option is a resealable 1.1kg tub containing approximately 50 blocks of 22g each. Select Bio Screens with Block x 12 for a box of 12 urinal screens, each supplied with an 88g block. These are separate buying options: the 1.1kg tub does not include screens.
Use the blocks in suitable porcelain, ceramic or stainless-steel urinals, including trough installations where the loose blocks can be spaced along the channel. Water use may be reduced where the installation permits a carefully managed flushing schedule, but regular flushing remains necessary. Results depend on the plumbing, usage and cleaning regime; these blocks do not guarantee that an existing obstruction will clear.
For surrounding splash areas, Bio Productions recommends Blu Away Biological Washroom Cleaner, used according to its own instructions. Plan the wider routine with suitable washroom cleaning products, keeping bleach, disinfectants and aggressive chemicals separate from the biological programme.
Key Features & Benefits
- Biological maintenance: microorganisms help break down organic residues associated with unpleasant urine odours.
- Combined formulation: cleaning and water-softening ingredients complement the biological action.
- Citrus fragrance: perfumed, water-soluble blocks for suitable commercial urinals.
- Two formats: loose blocks for urinals and troughs, or individual screens supplied with a block.
- Simple replenishment: replace dissolved blocks as part of routine washroom checks.
- Managed water use: compatible installations may allow less frequent flushing, subject to monitoring and plumbing requirements.
Directions for Use
1. Check suitability and protect the operator
Read the current pack label and safety data sheet before use. Check the urinal manufacturer's requirements, especially for waterless or specialist systems. Wear suitable protective gloves, safety glasses and protective clothing. Avoid skin and eye contact: the safety data sheet identifies skin irritation and serious eye damage hazards.
2. Place the correct block or screen
For loose Bio Blocks, place one block in each urinal or one block every 50cm along a trough. For the screen option, place one screen with its supplied block in each suitable urinal. Do not substitute the loose-block spacing instructions for the screen format.
3. Maintain flushing and compatible cleaning
Retain periodic flushing to move waste through the system. The manufacturer's brochure describes reduced schedules of roughly three to five flushes daily for suitable installations; this is not a universal setting. Adjust only with appropriate facilities or plumbing advice and monitor drainage and hygiene. Do not use bleach, disinfectants or aggressive cleaners with the blocks, as these can disrupt their microorganisms.
4. Inspect, replenish and store
Check frequently and replace blocks when they have dissolved; heavily used urinals may need replacement sooner. Investigate persistent smells or slow drainage rather than adding extra blocks to a blocked pipe. Keep the remaining product in its closed original container in a cool, ventilated place, out of children's reach. Wash hands after handling and follow the safety sheet for disposal.

FAQs
How do biological urinal blocks help with odours?
Their microorganisms act on organic deposits, supported by cleaning ingredients. Regular use and compatible cleaning help maintain the system; persistent odours still need investigation.
What is the difference between the two options?
The 1.1kg tub contains approximately 50 loose 22g blocks. The screen option is a box of 12 screens, each containing an 88g block. Select the format you need before ordering.
How often should I replace a block?
Replace it when it has dissolved. Its life varies with use and flushing, so check each urinal rather than relying on a fixed number of days.
Can I stop flushing or use them in a waterless urinal?
Do not assume universal compatibility with waterless systems or stop flushing. The manufacturer recommends periodic flushing; check the equipment instructions before changing its maintenance programme.
Can bleach or disinfectant be used alongside the blocks?
Keep them separate from the biological routine because they can interfere with the microorganisms. Use a compatible cleaner such as Blu Away according to its label, without mixing products.
Does biological mean the blocks are harmless?
No. Both formats require careful handling. Follow their label and safety data sheet, use the specified protection, avoid skin and eye contact, and keep them away from children.
