Portable toilet rentals are convenient for large events, and help you comply with OSHA standards for construction sites and other workplaces. However, to keep guests and employees satisfied and to protect everyone's health and safety, these facilities need regular cleaning. Here are some of the most essential points to consider when making arrangements for sanitation services.

How to Avoid a Mess In Your Portable Toilets

1. Get Enough Toilets

The fewer portable toilets you're using, the more quickly they'll fill up and get dirty. As a basic rule of thumb, for short events lasting four to six hours where no food is served, you need one unit per 100 guests. If you're serving food or the event is longer, you'll need more. Renting fewer units to save money will backfire if you end up paying more for cleaning and waste disposal because the units are overloaded.

2. Supply Sanitary Products

Nobody wants to make a mess in a portable toilet. It usually happens by accident, or when people run out of supplies to clean up. Stocking the units with plenty of toilet paper and renting handwashing stations in addition to toilets allows people to be tidier, so you'll have less mess to clean up later.

3. Disinfect Touchpoints

Touchpoints are the parts of the unit people are most likely to touch when they use it, such as the door handles, seats, and the area around the toilet paper holder. These places are where you'll find the most germs, so clean them frequently with disinfecting products to keep the restrooms safe and healthy for visitors.
