Florida summers bring sunshine, laughter, and a whole lot of outdoor fun. From weddings in Williston to birthday bashes in Newberry and food truck festivals in Gainesville, one thing is constant: your guests need clean, reliable sanitation. Portable toilets? Absolutely. But if you’re stopping there, you’re only halfway to hygiene.
Enter: handwashing stations.
At Princess Portable Toilets, we’re not just in the porta potty rental business—we’re in the business of keeping your event sanitary, safe, and stress-free. That means delivering top-tier handwashing stations alongside our portable restroom rental services. Because today, hygiene isn’t optional—it’s the baseline for a successful event.
✅Why Hygiene at Outdoor Events Is Non-Negotiable
When summer heat kicks in, so does the sweat, the stickiness, and yes, the germs. Think about it—outdoor gatherings mean shared surfaces, shared equipment, and shared food. That’s a recipe for bacteria unless you’ve got a hygiene plan in place.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) backs this up with some eye-opening stats:
-
Handwashing can reduce diarrheal disease by up to 31%
-
It can also cut respiratory illnesses by up to 21%

So, whether you’re offering porta potty trailer rentals, luxury restroom trailers, or clean portable toilets, adding handwashing stations is how you close the loop on sanitation. It’s not just a “nice-to-have”—it’s a public safety must-have.
🧴 When Are Handwashing Stations a Must-Have?
Let’s keep it real—if your event includes food, porta potties, animals, or even just a lot of hands-on fun, then yes, you need handwashing stations. It’s not just about comfort; it’s about public health.
Here’s when you absolutely need a handwashing station:
-
Food or drink service – No one wants a side of germs with their sliders.
-
Portable toilet rentals – A toilet without a nearby sink? That’s a no-go.
-
Petting zoos or kids’ play zones – Little hands touch everything.
-
Hands-on demos or vendor booths – Art, samples, and sticky fingers galore.
-
Large crowds sharing gear – From chairs to mic stands, germs get around.
This isn’t just about checking a box—it’s about keeping people healthy, so your event doesn’t become “that event” everyone remembers for the wrong reason.

🧮 Planning 101: How Many Handwashing Stations Do You Need?
When it comes to portable hygiene, “just winging it” is not a strategy. The right ratio can make or break your event’s flow (and sanitation scorecard).
Based on our in-field experience and guidance from Event Safety Alliance, here’s the general rule of thumb:
-
1 handwashing station per 4 porta potties
-
1 station per 100 guests at food service areas
-
Extra stations for events with kids or animals

🌱 The Eco-Friendly Edge: Clean Hands, Cleaner Planet
Hygiene doesn’t have to come at the expense of the environment. At Princess Portable Toilets, we’ve designed our handwashing stations with sustainability in mind—because Florida’s natural beauty deserves protection, not pollution.
Here’s how we keep things green:
-
Water-efficient foot pumps use only what’s needed—no running taps wasting gallons.
-
Eco-friendly soaps are available for environmentally sensitive setups.
-
Responsible gray water disposal follows strict environmental guidelines to prevent contamination.
Whether you’re throwing a farm-to-table festival in Alachua or hosting an eco-retreat in Hawthorne, we help keep your event’s footprint small and your hands clean.
📋 Health Department Compliance? Covered.
If your event includes licensed food vendors, your handwashing stations aren’t a “nice-to-have”—they’re the law. The Florida Department of Health mandates accessible handwashing stations at temporary food operations.
That means if you’re organizing:
-
Farmers markets
-
Street food fairs
-
Corporate food truck rallies
-
Off-site catering setups
…you’re legally obligated to provide handwashing access.
Don’t sweat it—our portable restroom rental service ensures you’re not only equipped but fully compliant. We’ll handle the logistics so you can focus on pulling off a flawless event.
