Hi all,
Our bathroom floor was re covered with a vinyl covering that
was laid from a roll
It was fitted as part of a bathroom upgrade by our Housing association
a year ago, I have no paperwork to see what it is, it seems softer
than lino though and thicker.

This is mostly a male household and there care urine stains in front
of and around the base!
I have removed the stain with a pet urine remover and a weak bleach
clean.

Is there a sealer that I can use to help prevent the stains please?
I realize we need a better aim as well of course!
Thanks,
Mick.

Sit down. :-)

Get any of many WC mats to go round. Wash as needed (most can be chucked
in a washing machine - you do have one of those?)

When refurb'ing the bathroom of my flat that had been occupied by
between one and two males for the last 13 years I couldn't beleive
what I found. When I lifted the toilet base it was as though somebody
had lit a small circular bonfire on the floor. Admittedly, part of it
was the bodge job done by the lino installers, I'd specified that it
go /under/ all the fittings, instead they "carefully" trimmed it
around the bases. I had to strip all the flooring out and replace it.
Luckily, it was cladding used to give a smooth surface, so I could
just reclad it. I still had to spend several hours on my knees with
bleach and a scrubbing brush sterilising the underfloor.

So, ensure lino goes /under/ the loo, and use a supply of fluffy
toilet cosies and chuck 'em away at regular intervals.

YMMV, but I've found that often results in a stream perfectly aimed at the gap between seat and pan...

You too, huh?

Sit facing the cistern...

Even if you get it wildly wrong, there is a sporting chance of some of
it dribbling down into the bowl.


(Do I do this? Of course not. Do you think I make an idiot of myself in
front of, oh, umm, myself?)

Apparently some people defy gravity in this manner in their default condition. Of course if there's enough for gravity to act on this problem would be unlikely. I hope that is sensitively put !

Bleach gets rid of a lot of it, but not hard desposits. Acids remove hard deposits. A toilet mat should intercept any more, housetraining might be of use too.

Hi again,
The floor covering is cut around the pan base not under
it, I did put mastic sealer around the join.
And yes we do use the shaped mats, but of course any dribbles on the
rim will run down the outside of the pan and under the mat!

Which was why I hoped there was a clear sealer of some sort that I
could apply.

Since It is me who has to clean around it, I do normally sit to use
it, but I cannot follow others in there "can I? :-)"

Get a cleaning woman in regularly.

If I could get a woman to come in regularly, *I'd* do the cleaning

Or a bigger pan.

The worst urine deposits I have ever seen were in an all girl household
when I 'lifted the seat'

My guess is she had never done so before.

I lifted the seat in an all female student flat and there was some blood
there.

This is all getting a bit detailed. My wife regularly berates me for wet
seats. She was gobsmacked to see unequivocal evidence that she was
equally guilty.
Not lifting the seat and not getting to see what you are doing impairs
women as well as men.

A home remedy!
Make a solution with dish-washing liquid and white vinegar and dilute it with hot water. Rinse mop the floor using this solution repeatedly. Then rinse the floor with water. This removes the urine off the floor.
Cover the site of urine with baking soda and let it sit overnight. this neutralizes the smell. You can then vacuum the floor to get the baking soda off the floor.

We replaced the floorboards ;-)
