Are porta potties sanitary and safe to use?

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.
