The Portland Loo

Public bathrooms are critical — I’m so glad this company exists.

Our Grand Opening in Cumberland Historic City Center is next week. As a small business merchant…. I love what the Portland Loo is going to provide for us.

“We didn’t encounter any safety issues. No maintenance issues. We didn’t even lock them up at night.”

“The Portland Loos coming to Cleveland are a response to both the growing need for public toilets and the demands of a burgeoning Downtown as a place-to-be.”

“A team of three public restroom specialists visit the Phlushes regularly and, along with cleaning and unclogging the toilets daily (yes, daily), they also speak with people who use the bathrooms. In the course of those conversations, they’ve referred 243 people to resources for shelter, treatment, food, and clothing, and they’ve handed out 120 doses of naloxone, according to the spokesperson. These city workers aren’t just restroom specialists, they’re people specialists too, making a valuable difference in the lives of those they encounter.”

“It’s clear the Phlushes are more than just bathrooms, they’re micro-community hubs helping to save lives and combat period poverty.”
