For outdoor events, portable toilets are a necessity. When using a porta potty, it is wise to practice good etiquette so that everyone in attendance can use a clean facility when they need it most. Here are the do’s and don’ts to remember.

Do:

Leave It Clean.

Be considerate when you leave the portable toilet and think about the person going in after you. Wipe down the toilet seat and make sure any trash is placed in a garbage can.

Wash Your Hands.

Help Kids.

If you have small children in tow, help them in the portable toilet, even if they are fully trained. Children tend to take a long time and often leave behind messes. They also are famous for using too much toilet paper. Helping them will ensure the line does not stall and that there is no mess left behind.

Don’t:

Take a Long Time.

Get in, do your business, and get out. Portable toilets are not the place for chatting on the phone, texting, fixing makeup, and other tasks. There is most likely a line forming outside and taking a long time will only lead to frustration for others.

Become Distracted While Waiting.

While you are waiting for your turn, pay attention so that when it is time, you can go in quickly and do your business. Avoid playing on your cell phone or chatting with a friend so that you are not distracted.

Cut the Line.

Wait your turn. If there is a line, take your rightful spot and be respectful of others already there. Cutting will only lead to anger, frustration, and a delay in everyone getting their turn in the portable toilet.
