Here at Portable Restroom Trailers, our positive thoughts are with those working at home, but our business focus is now on those essential businesses that must remain open to keep the country running. We’ve provided portable bathrooms for hospitals, construction sites, logistics companies, and more. Many of these companies are becoming more and more interested in restroom rentals at this time. With our inventory going in and out of the warehouse constantly, we want to ensure that the portable bathrooms we send out are clean and safe for use.We recently partnered with Green Home Solutions, an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) registered cleaning service that specializes in bacteria disinfection. Learn about their company and cleaning process and order your restroom rentals with the confidence that the portable bathrooms coming your way are sanitized and ready for immediate use.The Green Home Solutions ProcessThe Green Home Solutions product, called Oceanic, killed 570 pathogen in under 10 minutes when tested by the EPA. It has successfully treated COVID-19 as well and is now the product used to disinfect our portable bathrooms. We are proud to partner with a small, locally-owned business that prioritizes effective disinfection without harsh chemicals. Learn a little bit about them:“Russ Weldon founded Green Home Solutions and serves as the Chief Cultural Officer and Visionary of our indoor air quality company. With an entrepreneurial drive, Russ has been starting successful businesses since his teens. After selling his 450-store franchise in 2012, he was looking for a new opportunity. Green Home Solutions grew out of his desire to provide products that keep homes free from mold.As Green Home Solutions grew, he realized this business was more than just a way to help other entrepreneurs achieve their dream of business ownership. It gave him a chance to have a positive impact on the planet today and for generations to come.At Green Home Solutions, we don’t believe that fixing these problems means you have to introduce harsh chemicals into the environment or to your family, pets and home. We don’t use harsh chemicals. The health and safety of your family is always our goal. The products we use in our services are selected with that in mind.” When we hired Green Home Solutions, they told us about their cleaning process. This is what you can expect every portable bathroom in our rental inventory to go through before shipping.The Green Home team sets up personal protection equipment (PPE) and cleaning suppliesThe team puts on PPE prior to entering the portable bathrooms, including full mask, suit and gloves.Confirm that all people are out of the service area and ensure that no one enters while the trailer is being serviced.Once everyone is out of the service area, the team begins to wipe down all touch surfaces & high contact surfaces with GHS “Beyond Green All-Purpose Cleaner” including door, doorknobs, handles, seats, and sinks.Remove, contain and dispose of all cleaning materials (rags, towels, cloths).Spray all surfaces and contents with Oceanic via the Fogmaster sprayer.Allow a minimum of 2 hours after treatment prior to re-entry.

As most of the world adjusts to the many changes that COVID-19 has brought, there are many workers who still commute to work every day despite the risks. While working from home is becoming more mainstream, essential workers must report to their worksites to treat those affected by the pandemic, provide necessary goods and services, and assist in keeping some sense of normalcy to our daily lives. Here at Portable Restroom Trailers, our remote team works tirelessly to ensure that essential workers needing portable showers get the tools they need to keep themselves safe and healthy during these hard times. Portable showers provide a wide variety of solutions. Many of these worksites are impacted, with many temporary workers onsite to support the usual team. This means less access to brick-and-mortar restrooms. Many also must work long shifts, with those in the medical field working 12 and 16 hour shifts to ensure that lives are saved. It is our job to provide these essential workers with the tools necessary to keep pushing on, and something as small as a daily shower can work wonders to improve morale. Below, we outline the many ways that portable showers can assist essential workers. When this pandemic ends, we will have them to thank for not only keeping everyone’s daily needs available, but also for helping to save those most affected by COVID-19. If you are an essential worker, see which of these options would best assist your workplace and contact us to learn more about purchasing portable showers.   Portable Shower Options for 7 Essential Industries   1.

The world as we know it has changed significantly over the past few weeks. We went from hosting dinner parties, planning music festivals, and enjoying lunches with coworkers to spending most of our day in the home with our families and roommates. Here at Portable Restroom Trailers, we have stayed positive, supporting not only each other, but the many industries that are still out there working hard. Our restroom trailers assist nurses in hospitals, grocery store clerks, warehouse employees, and so many more that are keeping our day-to-day as normal as possible.  One of the groups most affected by mandates to stay indoors are the office workers. Some have been practicing their daily work routine for over 15 years and now have to adjust to working remotely. For many, this is a luxury that they’ve dreamed about since they heard it was an option, but some crave the structure of a separate work space. The internet jokes about working in pajamas and in the comfort of their beds, while others feel like they get distracted by to-do lists around the home. When working from home, how do you maintain work-life balance? For those new to remote work or who may need to polish up their routine, this one's for you! The Portable Restroom Trailers team has been 100% work-from-home since its beginnings in 2007. Now a multi-million dollar business, our team has learned the tips and tricks to master a successful, profitable, and happy remote work routine. See tips from our employees below and build your perfect at-home workday.   Designate a work space    “If you can find a space in your home where you can shut a door, that is best.” - Melanie, National Sales Specialist & Client Services   Evaluate your work needs   “One big thing for me was learning and adapting to working with home office equipment vs. big commercial equipment that most corporate offices have such as copiers, scanners, and broadband. In most cases home office equipment & internet does not have the speed or capacity as in office equipment so you will need to adjust your working style and expectations.” - Wanda, Inventory Manager   Get Ready in the morning   “Waking up at the same time, showering, and dressing for a casual office has been my must over the years. No, hair and makeup are not always done. :) ”  - Vanessa, National Accounts Specialist   Prioritize your work day   “In the morning take a few minutes and set the intention/outcome of the day in terms of how you'd like to feel and what you'd like to accomplish.” - Amy, Chief Operating Officer “Give yourself set working hours!” - Ivy, Administrative Assistant “Write it down! Take time to make a list of your work goals for the day. I usually set 4-6 items to check off of my list (outside of email and admin tasks) to make sure I accomplish my daily goals. Challenge yourself but don’t over-commit yourself. That feeling of satisfaction when you check everything off of your list at the end of the day is what it’s all about!” - Camille, Content Manager “Review tasks you set from the afternoon the day before that did not get completed. Prioritize them in the morning.” - Amy   Get active   “Take a break to do push-ups, planks or jumping jacks every time you go to the bathroom... keeps you alert and adds little bits of physical activity to the day”  - Ivy “You are cooped up in your house all week; how should you deal with stress? Keep your healthy routine! Stay healthy and active with meditation, yoga, running, HIIT training.” - Vanessa “Move your body. Even if it's 5 minutes every hour, stand up and stretch. This affects your overall productivity.” - Amy   Take breaks   “Go get a cup of coffee, take a snack break. Because everything I like is here at home, I used to just grab what I want and work straight through the day when I began working with Portable Restroom Trailers. Then, I’d feel burned out and over tired. Breaks are just as important at home as they are at the office.”  - Melanie “I occasionally LEAVE for lunch.. Get in the car and go somewhere!” - Ron, National Sales Director   WORK during work hours   “Do not make the mistake of thinking that you can get things done around the house. No! You’re working, you're busy, you don't have time to clean the house. Maybe change laundry over on your break, but just saying - don't set yourself up to fail whether it be your expectations on house work or your job.” - Melanie     Give yourself time to transition   “When you commute to and from work every day you get that little transitional time in the car to get in the right headspace and process your day. Working from home doesn’t allow this and it can make you feel unprepared in the morning, and wound too tight at the end of the day. Just a 10 minute buffer on each end of the workday makes a big difference for me.” - Ivy   End your work day   “Follow your set office hours: It is a must to put down the phone, turn off the computer, and end your day. If not, you will be working 24/7.” - Vanessa “At the end of the day, QUIT and Go Home! It may sound funny, but that's how you have to handle working from home” - Ron   Enjoy your time off   “Family time is very important as we are learning during this difficult time. We cannot take our families for granted because life as we know it can change at any moment.” - Wanda

The world as we know it has seemed to change drastically overnight. With the COVID-19 pandemic, we are all living life quite differently, working from home, avoiding our favorite neighborhood bar, and saying hi to relatives via Facetime. Amid the rapid change and chaos, we must keep one thing in mind. We are stronger together. While physically apart, we must remember to send words of kindness and encouragement, do what we can to prevent spreading germs, and support the workers in the field who are battling this virus head on. Here at PRT, we have done what we can by providing portable restrooms for rent to the brave nurses, first responders, and emergency services that assist those who get sick.We must remember to do what we can in the face of a global emergency, and we know that our restroom trailers can do so much for the communities still at work.

Coughing. Stuffy nose. Drowsiness. Sneezing. We all know the signs of sickness and have experienced them throughout our lives. It is expected that we’ll each have some form of cold of flu to shake off at some point in the year - it’s simply a part of the human experience.With cold and flu season well under way and the new COVID-19 virus spreading rapidly throughout the nation, it is important for each individual to stay safe and healthy. There are many things that we can do to make sure that disease doesn’t spread unnecessarily. We thought we should take some time to highlight some tips that will keep you and your family safe. Most of us spend the majority of our week at work. Whether that’s in the office, driving a delivery route, in a restaurant, or at a store, our jobs inevitably put us in contact with other people. The best thing we can do is take preventative measures and ensure we are being mindful of the spreading of harmful germs.See 8 quick tips on how to ensure you and your coworkers stay healthy while at work.1. Wash your handsThis one may seem like common sense, but it is a top preventer of spreading germs. Be mindful of when you’re washing your hands, avoid touching your face, and make sure to give them a thorough wash before eating and after being out in public. 2. Cover up coughs and sneezesEven if you’ve got a tickle in your throat or allergies year round, you never know when you may be infected. Be courteous of others and practice proper etiquette when covering your mouth. 3. Clean your workstationWe are constantly touching our mouse, computer, folders, and other desktop essentials, including the desk itself. Make sure you give your work surface a wipe down and use disinfectant on office essentials like the stapler, printer, and keyboards. Also consider getting fellow coworkers involved in an office-wide cleanup, wiping down door knobs, eating areas, and other communal spots. 4. HydrateWater is key for body health and balance, and can also help you fight off any diseases you come in contact with. Make an effort to drink at least 64 ounces a day for immune system support.5. Get some restIf you are tired, so is your body. Both you and your body simply do not function properly without proper rest. Get to bed on time and enjoy a full night of sleep to support your overall mental and physical health6. MoveAerobic exercise has been known to support the immune system. Get away from your workstation for a brisk walk, or rise early for a morning run. Moving keeps the body strong, inside and out. 7. Take the sick dayIf you feel those symptoms creeping up, don’t expose coworkers to your germs. For those who try to tough it through the sickness, we love your work ethic! But just stay home and get well.8. Don’t stressSelf-care is now more important than ever. Stress puts wear and tear not only on the mind, but on the body as well. Take time to get rest, meditate, exercise and balance your workload to lower your stress levels.For those working in hospitals, as first responders, and others in the health and medical field, take extra care. As more and more people require hospital visits, keep in mind that we are here to help with restroom rentals. Contact us if your business needs options as hospital crowds grow. 

When planning an event, there are so many details that tend to seduce the passionate planner away from more mundane tasks. You get swept up by menus and design, entertainment and florals, and may put key experiential things like health and safety at the end of your list. It’s time to reprioritize! With flu season in full swing and the new COVID-19 making its rounds, it is important for event planners to pay extra attention to the health and safety of their crowds. Ensuring that everyone leaves in the same state they entered is more important than ever. Fortunately, the savvy planner has learned that there are quite a few preventative measures that they can take to ensure their event is a safe and healthy environment for guests. See some tips below that will help you to make sure your visitors stay in tip top shape despite the diseases that may come and go.  1. Hydration Many of us take for granted the importance of drinking water. We don’t realize how necessary it is to keep our bodies running. This is especially true when temperatures begin to peak. Hot summer events see many victims of severe dehydration and it’s important that, as an event, you promote drinking water for health and safety. A hydrated body is also more capable of fighting off new bacteria that may enter the body. Make sure to provide free water for guests so you can ensure you do your part to keep your attendees hydrated. 2. Hand Washing Handwashing is one of the best ways to prevent the spreading of disease, especially in a crowded setting. We all know how it goes: you touch a contaminated surface, germs are on your hands, you touch your face, now germs are in your body. It can be a vicious cycle, but can also be easily broken by washing your hands. Ensure your guests are practicing this important health and safety tip by providing hand washing stations in addition to your restrooms. Our Hand Washing Trailer is perfectly equipped to handle crowds of all sizes, allowing every guest access to a sink when they need one. 3. Capacity Let’s deal with the serious stuff first. When planning your event, paying attention to venue size is an important task because if you fill your venue above capacity, you’ll get fined. The fire department enforces capacity for health and safety purposes. So yes, we all want to avoid that fine! But more importantly, this reminds us to be conscious of crowd size. Overcrowded venues can cause violence and spread disease. Double check your capacity requirements and listen to what Fire advises. It’s for your community’s own good. 4. Accessibility When you see the world accessibility, your first thought is probably about those with disabilities. This is good! It is absolutely important to ensure that your event is accessible for all to enjoy and we make ADA restroom trailers to ensure that the bathroom is a welcoming place as well. But let’s take accessibility a bit further. It’s not just about those with disabilities. It’s about ensuring bathroom lines don’t get too long, making sure first aid is available if needed (see #5 below!) and confirming that everyone can get to an exit in case of an emergency. Accessibility to these items and more can make or break your event when it comes to health and safety. Take the time to examine your venue and make sure that accessibility is prioritized for all.  5. First Aid and Onsite Medical In case the worst does happen for someone in your crowd, it is important for you, as the event manager, to be prepared for a medical emergency. No matter what the case may be, from severe dehydration to a small scratch needing a band-aid, making sure you have tools - and the people with knowledge - to assist is crucial. When it comes to events, you simply never know. It’s best to stay fully prepared and ready to take on whatever may get thrown at you. With these tips, you can run successful events while keeping the health and safety of your crowd in mind. Preventative measures like hand washing and hydration ensure your event doesn’t cause a spreading of disease, and maintaining a safe crowd that has access to necessary amenities keeps attendees happy and well taken care of. Let us help your event succeed further with restroom rentals! Our trailers are fully equipped with amenities that help to support health and safety.
