Hand Sanitizer vs. Portable Sinks

Hand Sanitizer

For the Portable Restroom Operator

• Options include in-unit hand sanitizer dispensers or standalone sanitizer stands
• A lower-priced add-on than a sink, so you’ll make your money back faster
• Useful for customers in any industry
• Easy to transport. If the hand sanitizer dispenser is in the unit, you don’t need to bring anything additional. If it is on a stand, you can fit one stand — if not several — in a unit you are bringing.

For the User

• A good way to clean hands and remove germs as long as there is no visible dirt or debris on them
• Does not take a lot of time to use
• Does not use additional resources like water and paper towels

Portable Sinks

For the Portable Restroom Operator

• Options include in-unit washstands and soap dispensers or standalone portable sinks
• A higher-end add-on, so you can charge more
• Useful for customers in any industry, but especially food service, where there are strict handwashing requirements

For the User

• A good way to clean hands and remove germs, especially if there is dirt or debris on them
• Heated sinks satisfy the warm water handwashing requirements of health departments monitoring the food service industry
• Comfort of knowing that you are getting a thorough handwashing experience
