The COVID-19 pandemic has made more people conscious about germs on shared surfaces. If your company offers portable toilets for its employees, keeping them disinfected will help everyone feel more comfortable about using them. Here are a few tips to help you provide clean units for your employees.

How to Maintain Sanitary Port-a-Potties

1. Disinfect the Touchpoints

These areas are the surfaces that people come in contact with the most, like the seat and door and sink handles. The high-touch areas are where germs are most likely to linger, so frequent cleaning prevents them from spreading to others. Apply a cleaning and sanitizing solution on each surface several times a day, then use a clean towel to wipe them down.

2. Clean the Unit

At least once a week, have a professional spray the ceiling, walls, and floor of each unit with an advanced spray-and-vac system to remove grime and dirt. Apply a sanitizing spray after the cleaning to kill any lingering bacteria and viruses.

3. Keep Sanitizing Supplies Stocked

Have enough cleaning products, like disinfectant spray and paper towels, on hand to minimize germs in the units. Place a set of these essentials outside each portable toilet, so people have the option of cleaning the unit before and after their use. As an additional courtesy, offer sanitizer so that visitors can disinfect their hands after leaving the toilet.
