The bathroom should be cleaned as usual using a neutral disinfectant to eliminate germs. The problem…..and why bathrooms smell…..is that disinfectants do not attack uric salts which are naturally occurring from urine accumulation on a surface. Enzymes are microscopic little eaters that go after naturally occurring proteins like urine. The enzymes should be the last step In cleaning a bathroom. Prior to leaving the restroom and after regular cleaning, enzymes should be sprayed under toilets behind toilets and on any vertical tiled surfaces to start eating away at the uric salts that are creating the foul odor smell. Allow to air dry…..do not mop up. Repeat daily or weekly depending on how bad the odor is….
Eventually the bathroom will not only smell cleaner it will be cleaner.
