Can you use the Urinal Fly (or our other decals) in a standard toilet? Yes you can! We get asked this question often and I have not updated the FAQ yet. The decals work great in a normal toilet and are the perfect addition to any house with young boys (or men) in the house. Here is the installation technique. So easy that anyone can do it. 1. Clean toilet 2. Turn off water valve (located behind toilet, on the wall) 3. Flush (this will empty the bowl) 4. Let sit for a few minutes to dry 5. Dry application area well with a paper towel (yes, you have to stick your hand in the toilet. Just remember, it means less time cleaning the bathroom in the future.) 6. Apply decal 7. Turn on valve. You are ready to go! So where should you apply it? I suggest placing the decal just below the waterline, about 1 inch (25mm) off center. Send us your success stories and you may be published in this blog. You may even win a UrinalFly.com T-shirt. Good luck.

The response the NPR story (see last post) was just incredible.  Robert Krulwich and Jessica (not Jennifer, sorry again) did an excellent job of making the story funny and informative.  Check it out and let me know what you think.

The website and my phone were both slammed so I apologize to anyone who I have not responded to yet.  Everyone who ordered should have gotten the product by Christmas.  Merry Christmas!

2 weeks ago I received a call from Jennifer at NPR (National Public Radio) asking if I would do a radio interview.  Finally, the call that I was waiting for.  Someone had recognized my contribution to world cleanliness and I was to be recognized for it!  Of course this is not exactly how it went.  The first question that Jennifer asked was “Can you help us get a hold of Aad Kieboom?  We would like to interview him about the Urinal Fly?”  This is like having a beautiful woman walk up to you in a bar, lean in toward your ear, and whisper seductively “Is that your friend over there by the pool table?  Can you introduce me?” 

This was a blow to my ego but I am strong and was able to carry on.  I told Jennifer honestly that I have never met Aad though I hope to some day.  Jennifer then asked if I would be available to interview with Robert Krulwich for the “Krulwich on Science” show.  I agreed of course.  This was my chance to share the Fly with the world!

2 days later I was in a sound booth at the local Clear Channel radio station hub, completing a sound check, and getting ready to interview with Robert.  The interview was humorous with lots of smart, focused, and science oriented questions.  I had a good time and I hope that I didn’t sound like a stammering idiot.  It is too bad that our local NPR station, KUNC, does not seem to carry the show.

I hope that I did the UrinalFly.com proud.  I will link to the podcast of the program as soon as it is available online.

It’s about time!  After 3 years of the original site design it is time for a change.  The new layout is much easier to navigate and the pics are top notch.  We changed from our in-house cart to Google Cart to improve the customer experience as well as allow for a higher level of security than we could implement ourselves.  I hope that you like the upgrade as much as I do.  Send me your comments, complaints, suggestions, etc. to dkempel@urinalfly.com.  I want to hear from you.
