Four Portable Toilet Facts that Might Surprise You
There are a lot of facts about portable toilets that a lot of people would find quite astonishing. For instance, did you know that 45 billion gallons of fresh water are saved, annually, through the use of portable toilets? ? toilets of the portable kind are much more water-efficient than their indoor counterparts. Or, how about this fact: Ancient portable toilets were placed in tombs to be used in the afterlife! From the impressive to the historically quirky, facts about portable toilets run the gamut.
Here are four more facts about portable toilets that might surprise you:
1. Some Portable Toilets are as Nice as Your Home's Bathroom
Not all portable toilets are the same, and that is an understatement! Some portable toilets are very basic with non-flush commodes and on-board hand sanitizers. And let's face it, these bare-bones varieties might be maximally basic, but they are much appreciated at large events such as concerts, fairs, and block parties.
On the other hand, some portable toilets really are as nice as your home's bathroom! Take, for example, portable-toilet designs with flushing capabilities, vanities, sinks with running water, temperature-controlled interiors, beautiful cabinetry, and indoor lighting. These are the types of home-sweet-home amenities you will find in Chem Can's Luxury Restroom Trailers. Chem Can has various models of these lovelies that would add a noticeably-elegant touch to your outdoor event!

Did you, also, know there are ADA-compliant portable toilets with extra-roomy interiors and added safety features? These designs cater to those with mobility issues as well as families who would use ADA-compliant designs for the extra roominess that would cater to a stroller, an adult, and children with room to spare.
2. Portable Toilets are Cleaner than Many Everyday Items
It may surprise you to learn that portable toilets are, often, less germ-ridden than many everyday objects you, constantly, touch. That is a fact that is substantiated by the CDC and the Center for Science in the Public Interest which tell us that handrails, computer keyboards, mobile phones, money, and carpeting harbor more germs and bacteria than portable toilets that receive normal maintenance.
Though public toilets can't avoid being introduced to bacteria, studies from the Clean Hands Coalition indicate that any given mobile phone harbors 500 times more bacteria than a portable toilet, and computer keyboards will, most likely, be home to 400 times more bacteria than a portable toilet ? yikes!
3. Not Enough Portable Toilets = Bad Publicity
Whether you are throwing a private outdoor event or one that will be open to the public, the last thing you want ? after all the time, money, and planning ? is to garner a bad image because not enough portable toilets were available. It is very easy to under-estimate how many portable toilets would be required for an event. What it boils down to is a simple figure: for an event that lasts 4 hours, provide a minimum of 1 portable toilet/every 50 people. That ratio could change for large crowds such as those found at concerts. Other factors would enter the calculation, also, such as whether alcohol would be served and if more women would in attendance than men.
When too-few portable toilets are available, long lines translate into unhappy guests. Negative word-of-mouth advertising is all it would take for revenue to drop the next time the event takes place. If you are planning an outdoor event, don't let negative advertising play a role in your event's success, or lack of success.
Be on the safe side and let Chem Can help you determine how many toilet units would be needed as well as where they should be located. Whether you need only a few portable toilets or dozens, you'll want enough portable toilets, on hand, to help your event reach its revenue potential!
