How Often are Portable Bathrooms Cleaned?

Frequency of use is the most significant variable in how often portable bathrooms are cleaned and serviced. A portable toilet in high-traffic areas that are used frequently may need to be serviced more often than those not used as frequently. Depending on the number of people using the facilities, the porta-potty may need to be pumped as much as three or four times a week to keep them in good working order. Remember, your portable bathroom cleaning service schedule can be modified as needed!

The risk you run of not servicing them often enough is that they can fill up. Then comes the foul stench, which will discourage people from using them. This can cause people to either leave or use the bathroom somewhere on the premises not designated for bathroom use.

In areas where there are fewer portable bathrooms, those units will need to be pumped more frequently. If you do not want to have them pumped and serviced as frequently, consider renting additional portable restrooms to spread out usage more.

A simple guide to know how many units you might need is to have one portable bathroom for every 10 full-time construction employees (for construction sites). For events, you should have two portable bathrooms for every 50 guests per 6-10 hours.
