I am surprised that the actual company responded to my comment, guess there is likely bad press around this subject. I no doubt believe that a portable toilet is clean before being used, but just like my toilet at home, it both needs to be cleaned and flushed. I keep myself quite hydrated and while touching nothing with my hands inside the portable restroom, needed to open the door to get in. There were holders where a hand sanitizer likely used to be in some of the units, but none of the ones I used even had a dispenser installed. So while I agree I was sick because someone with the stomach flu opened the door to use it, it would have been nice to have had hand sanitizer available. I volunteered this weekend and this time brought my own sanitizer with me. To the company responsible, I understand the increased cost of having hand sanitizer, but feel that if you were to have it available and charged more for each unit accordingly, would still be competitively priced and earn the added appreciation of your customers.

Just to let you know, those toilets are cleaned up to 3X PER DAY during the festival. Maybe it is the people using them!!
