Restroom Trailer Tips & Education

Myth: Toilet seats are the “germ mecca” of the bathroom.Fact: Places where your hands frequently touch are where the most germs are.While most of us blame public and portable bathroom trailer toilet seats for harboring all of the germs, it is actually places like door handles, flushers, soap dispensers, and sink handles where the germs are gathered. So, no more is the infamous toilet seat at fault for the nasty little organisms we pick up in the bathroom.The first line of defense would be consistent cleaning and sanitizing of the restroom, whether it is indoors or an outdoor porta potty rental. Since we can’t always control when or how they are cleaned, however, the second line of defense is on us…frequent hand washing. Usually the small one person porta potties don’t have running water and soap, but there are some portable restroom trailers that do contain a sink, running water, and soap inside. If you have access to a regular restroom or portable restroom trailer, take advantage and wash, wash, wash!The Mayo Clinic offers some effective washing tips: wet your hands, apply soap, scrub for at least 20 seconds, rinse well, and then dry. If there are paper towels available, try to use one to turn off the faucet so your hands will remain germ free. It’s a good idea to get into the habit of washing your hands before leaving the bathroom. This will greatly cut the chance of spreading and bringing those unwanted germs with you wherever you go.Remember, toilets are not the culprit…let’s try to give them a better rep!

A bride’s wedding day should be one of the most memorable days of her life. It should be a day where she doesn’t have to worry about anything; a day where she can be free to focus on her family, guests, and of course, her groom. A wedding in a church or a reception hall is wonderful, and takes plenty of planning. An outdoor wedding, however, adds an extra twist. It takes a certain amount of special planning. For instance, you have to take into consideration time, location, weather, guest seating, catering, electrical access, and portable restroom trailers. Most of these things take time and effort to plan, view or visit. One thing that doesn’t require any effort, however, is the portable restroom trailers for weddings. Portable restroom trailers for weddings are necessary and can be stress-free. They blend in, which is great for upscale events, and convey class and elegance. Portable restroom trailers are clean and provide comfort for your guests without breaking the budget. Some also offer attendant services and amenity baskets as an extra luxurious option. You’re already throwing the celebration of a lifetime…why not complete it with a hassle-free potty break for your guests so that you can focus on your special day?

You’ve thought of everything for your event from extravagant food to tents to portable restroom trailers. But have you thought of how the toilet paper would be replenished, how the soap dispenser would stay filled, or how the floor would be kept free of debris in the portable restroom trailer? Although these seem like insignificant questions, they are important if you want your guests to feel pampered, taken care of, and comfortable when nature calls. Attendant services for portable restroom trailers are often overlooked when planning events; however, they are extremely beneficial. Attendants monitor the crowd and keep track of how many and how frequently guests enter and leave the restroom. They will enter the portable restroom trailer multiple times throughout the event to make sure it is clean and dry. When necessary, the attendant will restock the toilet paper and paper towels, refill the soap dispenser, and clean the toilet area to ensure a safe, sanitary environment. For an even more luxurious experience for your guests, there are packages that offer deluxe baskets filled with amenities such as hand towels, mouth wash, hair spray, deodorant, breath mints, etc. This is a great option for those events in which guests will be dressed to impress and expecting first-class quality. Whatever the occasion or type of event, the pleasure and comfort of your guests are top priority…don’t you want to leave a lasting impression?

According to news reports, teenagers have a new approach to getting a buzz. They are now turning to hand sanitizer for alcohol consumption. As sickening as it sounds, we all know that teenagers tend to have a “nothing will happen to me” mindset, which makes them willing to take on all kinds of risks. Throw that on top of the fact that everyone has access to hand sanitizer and we have a very dangerous new trend.In order to kill germs, hand sanitizer must have very high alcohol content. This makes it easier and quicker to get the buzz teenagers are looking for, especially when mixed with salt. The salt separates the alcohol out, making it even stronger and more hazardous. A small amount goes a long way.This new discovery isn’t dangerous strictly because of the consumption, but because teenagers have access to hand sanitizer wherever they go. It’s available at home, school, doctor’s offices, stores, portable restroom trailers, just to name a few. Imagine a group of teenagers hanging out on a Friday night, looking for something to do. They grab a shaker of salt and wander to a nearby field that has a couple of portable restroom trailers. Since portable restroom trailers aren’t locked, they go inside, squirt out all of the hand sanitizer from the dispensers, and they now have a "potentially deadly cocktail”.Only time will tell what will come of this new trend. I wonder… since there seem to be so many additional issues with porta potties, are they as beneficial as we once thought?

Planning an event can be stressful and takes months of preparation. Whether you’re planning a graduation party, wedding, corporate event, or just remodeling your home, there are imminent issues to think of. How to accommodate for everyone’s needs is a significant matter to take into account. Restrooms, in particular, are a concern to all. Health issues, ease of access, waiting times, cleanliness, and overall cost are topics of concern when considering how to provide portable restrooms for guests. Everyone wants to feel secure that when they use the restroom it will be safe, sanitary, swift, and simple. There are a variety of models and types of portable restroom trailers so that you can choose the right one to accommodate your budget and suit your needs. If your house is being remodeled, there is a unit with a shower. If you need handicap access, there are ADA compliant units with low ramps, full sized doors, and tons of extra space. If you will be entertaining larger crowds, there are units with multiple portable restroom trailers to accommodate the masses, quickly and efficiently. Whatever the need, portable restroom trailers take away the anxiety and stress so there is one less thing to worry about. Don’t you want to feel confident that your guests are clean and comfortable so that you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your party?

When it comes to the common portable potty, dirty and unhygienic is what comes to mind. Washing hands after using the restroom, is especially important due to the vast amount of germs; however, porta potties never seem to help the cause since there are no sinks or running water.Last year, a toddler and several others that attended the North Carolina State Fair ended up in the hospital with life threatening illnesses due to bacteria they had on their hands. Research from the Tork Green Hygiene Council shows that 85% of adults do not wash their hands after using a public restroom. People that do not wash their hands after being in a public place are at higher risk for serious illness. Not only is hand washing important after using the restroom, but also after touching public things, before and after handling food, or shaking someone’s hand. It is necessary to wash away harmful germs and bacteria in order to stay healthy.In order to prevent unnecessary spreading of diseases in public places, such as the fair in North Carolina, portable restroom trailers that contain sinks with running water and an adequate amount of soap are essential. Even if there are other restrooms in the facility, supplying more portable restroom trailers to provide additional sinks to wash hands and avoid long lines will ensure that the guests (and ultimately you) have plenty of opportunity to stay sanitary and healthy.Imagine where the germs on someone’s hands that didn’t wash after coming out of a portable restroom trailer go… rides, games, food??
