CRETE: A PROFESSIONAL DRAIN TREATMENT FOR DESCALING URIC ACID (CALCIUM) BUILDUP IN URINALS
Crete is designed to dissolve tough, long-term uric acid buildup, restoring drains and eliminating odors quickly. Unlike typical products containing glycolic acid, which are often easier and cheaper to sell, Crete offers maximum strength to tackle the most hardened, calcium-like deposits that block pipes. Glycolic acid solutions are suitable for mild maintenance, but they not intended for dealing with years of uric acid accumulation.
Restroom Urinal Odors
Restroom urinal odors are a persistent problem for restaurant owners, housekeeping staff, and maintenance managers. Smelly urinals give the impression of a poorly maintained business, which can hurt your reputation. Urinal drains that are overdue for maintenance are often the source of these unpleasant odors. Where there is heavy customer usage, uric acid scale builds up, affecting drainage and producing strong odors. While urinal cakes or blocks mask the smell, they do not resolve the underlying issue.
With a Crete maintenance program in place, costly snaking or removing urinals from the wall should be a rare occurrence.
Note: Crete specifically targets uric acid and calcium buildup, not organic blockages. For those, we offer specialized products. Crete focuses solely on eliminating uric acid and calcium deposits to restore proper drainage.
What is a Urinal Descaler?
When urine leaves the body, it reacts with oxygen and begins to break down. The interaction between urine and uric acid produces ammonia, which is highly alkaline and forms hard-to-remove crystals. This scale adheres to urinal drainpipes and toilet bowls, particularly in the “p-trap.” Over time, this leads to slow-running and foul-smelling urinals.
A powerful urinal descaler like Crete sits in the urinal’s p-trap, dissolving all forms of uric acid scale—the main cause of poor drainage and odors. Crete also helps prevent future uric salt buildup and works with waterless urinals to maintain optimal flow.
Usage
Crete is ideal for treating urinal odors and drain issues in public buildings, police stations, fire stations, arenas, stadiums, hospitals, shopping malls, schools, military bases, movie theatres, government buildings, and more.

Title: Works amazingly !
Review: Had a urinal at work that would overflow when flushing due to the mineral build up. Wish I had did before and after pics as the drain was reduced to the size of a nickel it was so bad. It was never maintained. I chipped out as much as possible and searched for a product to dissolve the rest. poured 16 oz of this product in and let it sit for 24hrs. I was very skeptical as the material in this urinal was literally stronger than most concrete. After the 24hrs, flushed it and to my surprise it worked! Truly an amazing product!! Saved the cost of a new urinal.

Title: Great urinal unclogger!!
Review: Weâve a urinal in our basement that has small slots at the drain that wonât accommodate a drain snake and the drain process needs manual cleaning frequently. Iâve known there was a significant calcification and uric acid buildup but just havenât been able to bust it up with numerous other products claiming they would. They didnât. This did!! ð I poured half the bottle in and waited a day before flushing. Improved but not great. I poured the remaining half of the product into the urinal and waited another day. I flushed and, Voila! No backup! Iâm extremely pleased with Crete and will have at least one bottle on my shelf for future needs.

Title: It works…sort of
Review: I ordered Crete for a urinal that was draining slowly. I purchased a total of 4 quarts.The first quart I used – nothing really changed. Waited a day and I tried another quart. There was some marginal improvement (I would say about 30-35% better).I waited a week and then tried the 3rd quart. That seemed to do the trick as the urinal is draining much more efficiently. Not 100% mind you, but I would say a 75%-85% improvement, which is good enough for me.I gave it 4 stars because it has given me the best results out of all of the products that I’ve tried over the years. 1 star off because, although it works, it didn’t completely get rid of the problem. I would still re-order it and will continue to use the product because it is effective in getting rid of most of the problem.

Title: Worked for me!
Review: This potent smelly acid cleaned the line surprisingly fast. I guess after 5 years stuff builds up. Who knew? I might be using it once each year or two…

Title: Opened up slow urinal drain
Review: I used this on 3 urinals that were draining slow and had already been snaked. I let it sit for 48 hours and it made a significant improvement. The drains now keep up with the water supply. Highly recommended.

Title:
Review: Short of removing an obstructed urinal off the wall, this chemical solution offers an alternative partial remedy. Poured half a bottle in the urinal in the evening. Came back in the morning and flushed the urinal with water. Found that it did the job to eliminate the visible deposits. Did still have to run a small gauge plumbing snake to loosen the deposits further in the urinal. Restored the urinal to a decent operating condition. Price however is a little higher than I would hope for this product. If it was cheaper I would keep a couple of bottles on hand when the need arises.
