Having a portable toilet for your outdoor wedding or party is vital for your guests’ comfort. While ensuring that there are facilities on hand is your first step, you also want to make sure foul odors don’t disrupt your special day. Below are a few tips for keeping porta-potty odors at bay.

How to Prevent Porta-Potty Odors

1. Choose the Best Spot

Carefully plan where the portable toilets will be located. Choose a dry, level location that is easy to get to but not too close to the main action of your event. Avoid sunny areas where excess heat will increase any odors and instead, opt for a shady area. Also, make sure the breeze will circulate near the units.

2. Select Ventilated Units

While airflow around the portable toilet is important, so is air moving in and out of the unit. Choose models that feature vents, ducts, or windows so odors will circulate out. An enclosed porta potty will trap smells, and they will get worse as the event goes on. Make sure the ventilation areas are facing away from your guests.

3. Have Enough Portable Toilets

The more toilets you have, the less they will smell. Excessive use over many hours by guests will make terrible odors unavoidable. Add one toilet for every 50 to 60 guests, and if there is alcohol, usage will increase, so add more. It is always better to have more units than less. 

4. Embrace Deodorizers

There are a variety of deodorizer options for your portable toilets. Some units come with built-in powders or liquids in the toilet that trigger after every use. Other options are set inside the waste tanks so bacteria and smells don’t build up over time. Also, purchase good-smelling sprays for your guests that they can use after they use the toilet.
