Please Do Not Put Chewing Gum In The Urinals Signs help you guide washroom users in gents’ toilets and public facilities so gum is disposed of properly and urinals stay easier to maintain.
A self-adhesive vinyl washroom sign asking users not to put chewing gum in urinals. It helps you reduce blockages, unpleasant cleaning tasks and repeat misuse in gents’ toilets, schools, pubs, offices, leisure venues and public washrooms before problems become routine.
Best Places to Position This Washroom Sign
Install the sign on clean tiles, doors or wall areas close to urinals, ideally where users see it before use. Good visibility matters because this polite instruction works best at the point of decision, reducing gum deposits before cleaners have to remove them.
Viewing Distance Guidance
Use the viewing distance as practical washroom guidance, not a legal formula. The supplied size option is suited to close approach areas where users are within a few metres, such as directly above, beside or opposite the urinals.
| Size option | Best placement | Practical viewing range |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 297mm | Close-range urinal and washroom wall positions | Around 2–4 metres |
