Portable Toilet Maintenance & Hygiene Tips

Portable Toilet Maintenance & Hygiene: Best Practices

Clean portable toilets aren't just nicer — they're safer, healthier, and reflect well on your event or job site. Here's how to keep them at their best.

Schedule Regular Service

Weekly servicing is standard for long-term rentals. High-traffic sites may need 2x or 3x per week.

Restock Consumables

Toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and seat covers should be restocked at every service visit. Cerise handles this automatically.

Pair with Handwash Stations

Pair every cluster of toilets with at least one handwash station — especially when food is nearby.

Watch for Damage

Report broken latches, leaks, or graffiti to your rental company immediately so they can swap or repair the unit.

Cold Weather Considerations

In Michigan winters, units should be winterized with anti-freeze additives. We handle this automatically on cold-weather rentals.
