Many people have been to parks, festivals, or other events where they’ve used a porta potty that smelled terribly and was seemingly unsanitary. That's one of the main reasons why some people are apprehensive about renting portable toilets for their outdoor event. However, it is a convenient, cost-effective solution that provides relief to your guests and keeps people from tramping through your home. The following information will help you keep your porta potty rentals smelling clean and fresh. 

3 Tips to Keep Your Porta Potty Rental Clean & Fresh

1. Keep Door Open

Hang a sign on each portable toilet asking guests to leave the door open except when the porta potty is in use. This gives the toilet time to air out between occupancies. Otherwise, the odor has no way to escape, and the problem can even worsen over time on warm days. Even giving the toilet a few minutes of airing out time every hour will go a long way to making the user experience less unpleasant. 

2. Have Them Cleaned

If your event will last multiple days, have the toilets cleaned at the middle and end of each day. Most rental services offer this as an additional service, and although it costs a bit more, it helps keep odors from becoming overwhelmingly foul. The additional service not only entails pumping out the sewage, but a technician will also wipe down and sanitize all services, restock toilet paper, and refill the hand sanitizer dispenser.

3. Hire an Attendant

For one-day events, you might not be able to pump out the toilets without inconveniencing guests. In such cases, consider hiring or assigning a restroom attendant. This person's job is to wipe down the toilets occasionally, make sure the toilet paper and disinfectant are always plentiful, and to spray deodorizing disinfectant in each potty when they are unoccupied. Continued care and maintenance of this sort will keep the toilets from becoming filthy and will minimize the smell.
