How to Clean a Waterless Urinal

A waterless urinal is easier to clean than a traditional urinal, since it inhibits certain bacteria growth and smells. As a result, a waterless urinal takes only a simple, all-purpose cleaner to clean. Remember to protect yourself with protective gear when you are cleaning a waterless urinal, since germs are still present.
