When taking a day out to go to a festival or fete of some sort, unless it is at a specific venue with running water, heating, electricity and all the other works, chances are you are going to have to use a public or portable toilet at some point throughout the day. Portable toilet are not often known for being spotlessly clean all throughout the day, so it can get a little worrying when you start thinking about who else may have used the toilet and whether or not you actually �really need to go�.
However why wait until you get aches and pains in your stomach or you absolutely cannot hold it any longer, when you can prepare yourself properly for portable toilets? Most of good toilet hygiene comes from you and from being prepared at what to expect. We�ve listed four essential tips you can use and bring with you to help increase portable toilet hygiene, and leave the loo relatively clean for the next festival goer.
1. Scented Spray
If you�ve got a stomach ache, chances are it may start to smell a little after you�ve visited the toilet. Portable toilets are being used by anyone and everyone and if there are hot food stalls around, it is likely that the loo you choose will have already been privy to a few pungent �smells�. By bringing a small can of scented spray or even odour neutraliser with you, you can whisk away those nasty smells before they become too offensive. It is a great way of making the portable toilet experience altogether more pleasurable for both yourself and the next visitor!
2. Baby Wipes and Spare Tissues
There will be times when you are caught out without any toilet paper left. It can be a common occurrence with portable toilets, as you have dozens, sometimes even hundreds of people using one or two loos with a limited supply of toilet paper. In this instance, it is better to be prepared, unless you want to be using emergency techniques! A small pack of tissues placed in a bag or a back pocket will do nicely as emergency toilet paper if there is none left. Baby wipes are also incredibly useful for disinfecting any surfaces that might appear questionable. They act fast and dry quickly, so don�t be afraid to be liberal. If you fancy wiping down everything from the seat to the door handle, go for it, there is no harm in making sure everything is clean before you start.
3. Lid Down!
4. Leave it as you would like to Find it
There has been a running theme throughout this piece of making sure that the toilet is left, at least in the same state of how it was when you first arrived. It is important to remember that there will be other people wanting to use the toilet, so it is simple good manners to make sure it is habitable when you leave. Don�t spend half an hour wiping off every stain with your baby wipes, but try and make it look reasonably presentable for the person after you. You never know; they may be having a bad enough day already without also having to deal with a dirty bathroom stall!
While it is very easy to get carried away with whatever event you may be attending; music festival, parade, village fete etc. it is also important to make sure that you follow proper portable toilet hygiene etiquette in order to make the experience enjoyable for all. How many times have you been bursting for the loo, then finding a portable toilet, only to find that the whole place has been utterly trashed? Some people would prefer to hold it in rather than do their business in squalor. By preparing yourself and by leaving it in a good state you can help improve the experience of others.
