I see that catchphrase posted on the restroom walls everyday here at work.
It's the Desert Eco System purporting to eliminate (pardon the pun) the use of water in urinals: the much touted waterless system. How it works is rather than flushing, use a blue microbial-packed cube in each unit and turn off the water. Easy-peesy! Water saved! Odors eliminated!
Well, something must be going wrong somewhere cause every place I've been to where it's used I have been left with a far less relieving experience. Despite the glowing testimonials spouted by the manufacturer, restroom with the system invariably smell like the ones I remember at Veterans Stadium after they've been visited by a few thousand male fans during the course of a hot summer baseball game.
I'll leave you with that mind picture for a while.
So despite all the splashy testimonials posted on its website and catchy slogans sprayed on restroom walls all over Australia, I'm not a believer. Personally? I think it's because we're guys and guys are used to a lot that no one is complaining at these patently yellow journalism tactics to keep us quiescent.
Hopefully this whole thing will pass and we're not just circling the drain until a better product comes along.
Pardon the puns.

Poster says "clean and hygienic". Nowhere does it mention the sweet smell of a well-used latrine or the urge to throw-up.
