Hygiene is important, now more than ever, and this holds true at any large gathering. Nowadays, attendees at any event expect sanitation, and a portable handwashing station can increase hygiene and leave your attendees more comfortable. This makes a portable hand washing station the perfect accessory to leave your guests with a positive impression.
So, let’s take a look at some of the options available for special events and a few of the reasons you should consider having one at your next event.
Foot Pump Hand Washing Sink
This is the most common type of portable handwashing station. The foot pump handwashing sink is primarily used for special events and offers a great alternative to hand sanitizer.
These portable sink stations come with soap, paper towels, and by using a foot pump-driven mechanism, attendees will get clean freshwater when using it. This is a good alternative that will leave users feeling much better than with standard hand sanitizer.
Hot and Cold Water
Another variety of portable handwashing stations has hot and cold water. This portable device is much closer to an ordinary sink and comes with both hot and cold running water.
This makes it perfect for food preparation, first aid, and any other application that needs hot water. However, this sink needs a power source both to build pressure and to heat water.
Why Should I Rent a Portable Hand Washing Sink?
Now that you’re aware of some of the portable hand washing sinks available, you’re probably wondering if your event needs them. Well, there are several good reasons to rent these sinks, and here are a few.
Keep Your Guests Safe and Happy
If you intend to have food available at your next event, you obviously still want to keep people healthy and safe. So, before they eat, it is best to give people a place to wash their hands. Also, when things get messy, it will give your guests a chance to wash off after eating. No one enjoys it when everything gets sticky, and the longer your guests are happy to stay, the more money both you and any vendors make.
Prevent the Spread of Germs
Particularly during parts of the year when people are at risk for catching colds and other illnesses, by providing people with encouragement to wash their hands, even by simply providing the means to do so, you can help prevent the spread of germs. This will reduce the chance of any of your guests getting sick.
A Single Dissatisfied Guest May Cause an Entire Family to Leave
Most of us have experienced a situation where just one person in a family or other group can manage to persuade all of their family or friends to leave. So you definitely don’t want to provide these guests any reasons to go.
It’s easy to imagine these people deciding they dislike the restroom facilities or they want to clean up after eating. This could cause you to lose the whole group.
Final Thoughts
When you’re hosting an event, there are a lot of things to do, but one of them should be considering how your guests can stay clean, comfortable, and safe. One of the best ways to do this is with a hand washing station. This can allow your guests to get clean and give them a positive impression of your event.
