How to Keep a Portable Toilet From Smelling

When people think of porta potties, the first thing that often comes to mind is their bad smell. If you’re in need of portable restroom rental, you might be hesitant because of the smell factor. However, our team here at Patriot Portable Restrooms wanted to ensure you that if you rent from us, odor is not something you’ll have to worry about. There are several things you can do to keep portable toilets from smelling so that your guests/employees won’t have to endure any gross smells. Check out these three solutions:

Regular Portable Toilet Cleaning

If your event is several days long with large crowds in attendance, such as a county fair, large music festival, or major convention, then your portable restrooms will probably see heavy use. It’s not rocket science. The more a portable restroom is used, the more likely it’s going to smell. However, with a regular cleaning and service, you can help mitigate the smell of your portable toilets. They may need cleaned several times a day, whereas if your event is smaller for a short amount of time, you won’t have to worry about smells as they’ll only be in service for several hours. We deliver clean, odor free portable toilets.

Provide Multiple Portable Toilets

Remember how we said that the more your porta potty is used, the more likely it’s going to develop odors? Well, if you offer multiple portable restrooms for people to use at your event, then the less likely they are to smell. If your event is just a few dozen guests, then one or two portable toilets is enough. However, if you’re expecting crowds of hundreds or even thousands, you should consider supplying groups of toilets in different areas of your venue. This not only keeps lines short but also keeps odor levels down, making the experience more pleasant for everyone.

Rent a Portable Restroom Trailer

Does your event have access to power and water? If so, you have the option of renting a restroom trailer. These high-end portable restroom solutions function essentially the same as a regular, permanent restroom, only with the ability to drive away at the end of the day. They have sinks with running water, flushable toilets, mirrors, electric lights, hand dryers, and are even air-conditioned to prevent the hot, sticky feeling that most people associate with portable restrooms.
