[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”432″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Let’s be honest. When you think of portable toilets in the heat of summer, you’re probably not being reminded of the sweet scent of blooming flowers and freshly cut grass. And that’s fair enough. A standard porta loo is ultimately a simple plastic structure and even with suitable air vents, they can get a little, shall we say… uncomfortable, when left in the baking summer sun all day.
Here’s are some Fancy Flush tips to ensuring your rented porta loos stay fresh and comfortable during events in the summer months:
Throw some shade
This one’s pretty simple. The less direct sun on the porta loos, the better. Placing the porta loos in a shaded area will help keep the temperature inside them down, The lower the temperature inside, the more pleasant the overall experience for guests. If possible, also try to ensure the toilet units are placed in an area where there is adequate airflow – maybe even a bit of a breeze.
Keep it clean
This is especially important during high-volume events in the heat. By having the units regularly cleaned and serviced throughout the day, odours can be kept to a minimum. This is why ensuring there are staff members to service the toilets is highly recommended for summer bookings. It’s also a good idea for the portable toilet doors to be kept open as much as possible in between use, for optimal ventilation.
Have the right number of units
Summer is peak event season so make sure you get your bookings in as early as possible so you can secure the type and number of units you need. Use our quick and easy Toilet Calculator to find out how many toilets you should hire. Proper planning will help limit queues and keep the toilets fresher for longer.
Upgrade to a trailer
If you know your event is going to be on a very hot day, and if you want to guarantee a comfortable restroom experience for guests, consider hiring higher-end units or trailers that come complete with water and power connections. Many of these units are also fitted with windows in the stalls for easier airflow.
