Yes, properly maintained porta potties are safe to use. Here's why:
- Deodorizing chemicals: The blue liquid contains biocides that kill bacteria and reduce odors
- Regular servicing: Professional cleaning and waste removal prevents buildup
- Non-porous surfaces: Plastic interiors are easy to sanitize
- Hand sanitizer: Most units include alcohol-based hand sanitizer
The risk of infection is similar to any public restroom when proper hygiene is practiced. Always use the hand sanitizer provided or wash your hands afterward.
