Proper Frequency And Method Of Porta Potty Unit Rentals Cleaning

Porta-potty unit rentals provide a sanitary way for outdoor event attendees, those working in construction sites, and people using public spaces such as parks to use the washroom. To ensure your portable potty units are sanitary, you must keep up with a cleaning schedule, especially if you keep the rentals for a few days. 

How frequently you should clean your porta-potty unit rentals depends on several factors. In addition to a proper schedule, you must ensure the cleaning is done right every time.

1. Ratio of Units to Users/Traffic and Usage 

An event with a large crowd or a public park with many visitors each day will certainly need to clean the porta-potty unit rentals more frequently than their counterparts with fewer users. Getting expert advice on the proper ratio of portable toilets to users will help you avoid daily, or every-other-day cleaning.

With construction sites, state laws dictate the proper ratio to maintain. For a construction site that strictly adheres to these state laws and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, weekly cleanings should suffice.

2. Weather Conditions

The odor from the waste in your porta-potty unit rentals will undoubtedly accumulate even more in hot and humid weather conditions. Similarly, rains and stormy weather can cause the waste to rise and the odors to accumulate. In both cases, you'll need to schedule the cleanings more frequently.

While you may not necessarily have to adjust your cleaning schedule for the winter time, the sanitation experts will need to take a few precautions. This includes adding antifreeze to your portable potty unit rental holding tanks to keep the disinfecting chemicals from freezing. Additionally, the sanitation team may add salt to the floors to keep users from slipping on the ice.

Portable Potty Unit Cleaning Done Right

There is more to cleaning porta-potty unit rentals than evacuating or pumping out the waste. A professional sanitation service will also do the following.

• Scrubbing all surfaces from the urinals and toilet seats to the floors and walls to eliminate all bacteria and germs.  
• Charging the unit with an additive that disinfects the portable toilet and controls odor.    
• Restocking supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, soap, and hand sanitizer. 

Keep Them Clean Always 

Cleaning your porta-potty unit rentals regularly and doing it right ensure users have a safe and sanitary washroom. In addition to protecting the health of those who use the portable toilets, you will also ensure they are comfortable. Ensure you adjust the cleaning schedule based on usage and weather conditions.
