Major outdoor events require a lot of preparation. You need to plan for your guests' needs, from having sufficient food and drinks to bringing in enough supplies. Porta potties and handwash stations are must-haves for your guests' convenience and for maintaining cleanliness throughout the celebration. Here are three strategies to keep your portable toilets clean until your event wraps up. 

Ways to Maintain a Porta Potty During an Event

1. Ensure Ventilation

Unpleasant odors may be due to a lack of ventilation or channels for air to escape. Promote circulation by keeping the door open for 30 minutes. This technique is even more essential if you've rented the portable toilet for back-to-back events. 

2. Perform Periodic Checks

Check your mobile toilets regularly to ensure they’re usable and clean and to replenish toilet paper and hand sanitizers. Lock the units that need urgent maintenance and redirect guests to those that have been recently cleaned or barely used.

Consider hiring restroom attendants to handle the inspections and restocking so you can attend to other concerns. 

3. Use Air Fresheners

Freshen each porta potty with odor-control products. Use sprays, dry toss packets, and air freshener straps to neutralize foul odors in your mobile toilets. Some dry toss packets help to decompose toilet paper in the tank, which means it will need to be emptied less frequently. 

If your event or project is scheduled to go for several days or weeks, air freshener straps can last up to two months. Determine the number of people that will use the units and stock up on deodorizers accordingly.
