Think again! Let\u2019s shed some light on the common question, \u201cHow are porta potties cleaned?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Portable toilets are standalone units, which means that each one collects and stores waste independently. So, unlike your home toilet where waste is flushed down and removed from the unit, it sits inside until it is cleaned out. As a result, they must be pumped out and serviced individually. But how is that done? How are porta potties cleaned out by <a href=\"https:\/\/kerkstraservices.com\/portable-restrooms\/\">portable toilet suppliers<\/a>?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pump Out<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The holding tank is pumped out when it starts to fill up using a large hose. The waste goes into a sewage truck tank that then brings it to a <a href=\"https:\/\/kerkstraservices.com\/porta-potties-explained-where-does-the-waste-go\/\">sewage treatment plant<\/a>. You might think this is the dirtiest part of the job, but it isn\u2019t! Read on\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fill Up<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In its place, water and blue chemicals are dumped in to prevent bacteria growth, thereby reducing odors. This liquid keeps porta potties fresh and clean, but isn\u2019t meant to come into contact with human skin. So, remember, if you drop something inside, it\u2019s always best to just leave it there instead of risking your safety.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean Up<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Then comes the <em>really<\/em> dirty part.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The floor, walls, and other surfaces are scrubbed down using cleaning solution. Special attention is given to the urinal and toilet seat area as well as high-touch points like door handles. After they\u2019re scrubbed down and sanitized, water is sprayed or dumped inside to rinse off the cleaner. Then the unit is left to dry so it\u2019s ready for the next user or next event where it will be used.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you\u2019re using a reputable portable toilet supplier, the units you receive for your event should always be clean and in good condition to service your event properly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Kerkstra Luxury Portable Restroom Service Inc. provides <a href=\"https:\/\/kerkstraservices.com\/portable-restrooms\/\">portable restroom service<\/a> across Michigan and <a href=\"https:\/\/kerkstraservices.com\/portable-restrooms\/event-restroom-trailers\/\">luxury restroom trailers<\/a> for all of the states surrounding the Great Lakes.
