When to Clean The Portland Loo®

Regular cleaning, both during peak usage and on a schedule, helps keep public restrooms hygienic, fresh, and welcoming.

1. After Peak Usage Hours

Public restrooms tend to see heavy traffic during certain hours, like lunchtime, after events, or during rush hours. It’s essential to clean the restroom after these periods to maintain hygiene, refresh the space, and ensure it’s ready for the next round of visitors.

2. When Visible Dirt or Waste Accumulates

If you notice any visible messes, like spilled soap, trash, or dirty floors, it’s time for a cleaning. Maintaining cleanliness as soon as messes are spotted helps prevent unsanitary conditions and keeps the restroom inviting for others.

3. At Regular Scheduled Intervals

Even if the restroom isn’t visibly dirty, routine cleaning should happen on a regular schedule—typically every few hours during the day. This ensures high-traffic areas stay sanitary and prevents odors from building up, creating a more pleasant experience for users throughout the day.

WHY IS THE LOO BETTER THAN ‘AUTOMATED’ ALTERNATIVES?

Automated restrooms prioritize privacy but often compromise safety, durability, and comfort. The Portland Loo® is uniquely designed to balance user privacy with public safety, ensuring a clean, safe, and accommodating restroom experience. Its minimal design also lowers maintenance costs compared to more complex automated alternatives.

CAN THE LOO COME IN CUSTOM COLORS?

Yes, the Loo can be customized in a range of colors to match your city’s unique needs and aesthetic. The standard gray color includes anti-graffiti properties, allowing graffiti to be easily removed from the unit.

Discourages crime

The restroom was designed with Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design by using high traffic areas and visibility to deter illegal activities and generate high usage rates.

HOW DOES THE LOO HELP REDUCE INAPPROPRIATE USE, SUCH AS PROSTITUTION OR DRUGS USE?

Angled louvers on the top and bottom of the restroom provide limited lines of sight for public officials to detect inappropriate use. Installing the Loo in areas designed with Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles can enhance this feature’s effectiveness.

Anti-graffiti walls

Protected with an anti-graffiti powder-coat, the restroom can take a lot of abuse, and is easy to maintain with a cleaning hose and janitorial supplies stored in the mechanical closet.

HOW LONG CAN I EXPECT THE LOO TO LAST?

Constructed from highly durable stainless steel and designed to resist vandalism, the Loo is built to last for decades with proper maintenance.

Open safety-grating

These open grates provide excellent visibility, allowing for easy monitoring while maintaining user privacy.
