Here are five easy tips.
1. CAREFUL PLACEMENT OF THE FACILITIES
The first way that ensures cleanliness is the placement of the toilets themselves. The dispersal of handwashing stations and restrooms should be done strategically throughout the space of the venue so that everyone can easily find the facilities when they are needed.
Do not place units in full sun during the summer, as this will make them humid and hot. And be sure to choose a solid surface that will keep out mud or other debris as people enter and exit the facility.
2. MAKE SURE THERE ARE ENOUGH TOILETS
Don’t skimp on the number of Porta Urinals. Your Porta-Potty Direct Provider can help you determine the suggested number of units based on the size of the event, its duration, and the number of attendees.
You must also include, in addition, handicap-accessible toilets and diaper-changing stations based on the number of units your rental provider provides.
Too few bathrooms is a quick recipe for a sanitary disaster staring back at you.
3. INCLUDES SANITARY SUPPLIES
There are many accessories you can rent to help keep the restrooms clean. Start with proper handwashing stations to accompany every restroom. If water, soap, trash cans, and towels are available, people are more likely to clean themselves up, spreading fewer germs.
To encourage cleanliness, you can also add more sanitation supplies and keep toilets odor-free. Consider things like hygiene supplies, hand sanitizer, air fresheners, and disinfecting wipes. Keep plenty of toilet paper and towels stocked at all times.
4. BATHROOM ASSISTANTS ARE ESSENTIAL
Make sure there are people assigned to supervise restrooms. If possible, have bathroom attendants stay near large bathrooms most of the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. To serve this purpose, your toilet rental company might even provide staff for this purpose.
Restroom attendants should check restroom cleanliness, make sure everything is in order, and replenish supplies as needed.
5. PROFESSIONALLY MAINTAIN THE TOILET SERVICE
There may be no need to repair the bathrooms if you only have an afternoon or evening, such as a wedding. But this is a must when maintaining the facilities for a multi-day event. Talk to the outdoor restroom provider to determine suggested times for emptying and cleaning restrooms based on the number of guests, as well as the type and duration of the event.
If possible, after each day’s use have the toilets professionally serviced. If you need to do some cleaning, please stagger the schedule while attendants are present so there are always a few porta-potties available.
