BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThis invention refers to a cleaner and more sanitary urinal system. This design will help to reduce unsanitary areas in restrooms, provide air freshening deodorants, and prevent urine splashing back onto a person's shoes, clothing, body, walls, and the immediate floor area when one employs an upright urinal. It employs an insert designed to fit into a variety of styles of conventional upright urinals. This insert when urinated onto eliminates the occurrence of urinal splash back.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe object of this invention is to provide a clean and sanitary means by which a person may urinate when employing conventional stand-up urinals. This insert offers the benefit of helping to keep restroom urinal areas drier and more sanitary by reducing urine backsplash. This insert also provides deodorizing properties which aid in bathroom air freshening, These benefits are achieved through the finned inserts designed to conform to any size urinal. The finned insert serves to encourage a person to stand closer when urinating. It thereby reduces the occurrence of urine backsplash and/or urinating directly on the floor. The deodorizing properties are a benefit achieved through the employment of changeable deodorizer attachments which store solid deodorants.
