How to Keep Your Portable Toilets Clean for Guests

September 21, 2021

Tips from Our Portable Toilet Rental Experts

Portable toilets can be a lifesaver at any event but they must be kept clean in order to make a positive impression on guests.

Whether it's static or portable, no one wants to use a dirty restroom. Though Advanced Portable Toilets will deliver freshly cleaned and disinfected portable toilets or restroom trailers, there are a couple best practices to ensure your restrooms are nice and clean throughout the entirety of your event.


Make Sure You Order Enough Portable Toilets Per Guest

Perhaps the most important step of porta potty rental is during the initial steps. One of the best ways to ensure your portable toilets will stay clean during your event is to ensure all of your guests are accommodated for. Generally, you will want to order one portable toilet per every 100 guests in attendance. In addition, you will want to consider the placement of your portable toilets or restroom trailers. If you are hosting an event with high traffic areas, adding more restrooms nearby can be helpful for guests and may help to keep the units cleaner for a longer period of time.


Ensure You Provide Enough Sanitation Products

Along with portable restrooms, consider adding baby changing stations, handicapped accessible units and hand-washing stations to help boost cleanliness and inclusivity. According to the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), you must have one handicapped accessible portable toilet for every 10 standard units you order. Regardless of how many porta potty units you rent, ensuring you provide enough sanitation products is essential. This includes ensuring soap, paper towels, hand sanitizers, and potentially disinfectant wipes are on hand and replenished as necessary, to keep all guests happy.


Invest in Odor Prevention & Air Freshening Products

Believe it or not, but odor prevention and air freshening products can make a huge difference when it comes to your guests' experience using your event restrooms. Air freshening items help to mask residual odors while deodorizing products help to remove said odors. When they work together, your portable toilets will smell as normal as indoor restrooms!


Clearly State Your Needs to the Porta Potty Rental Company

In order to ensure you have the proper amount of portable toilets and hand-washing stations for your event, you must clearly state your needs and objectives to the porta potty rental company. If you need portable toilets for multiple days, they can be professionally and efficiently cleaning each day. If necessary, they will also be emptied. Being clear and straight-forward with the porta potty rental company ensures all of the needs of your guests are met.
