Handwashing Stations: Why They’re a Must for Any Event

When planning an event, whether it’s a wedding, festival, family reunion, or corporate gathering, there’s one essential element that often gets overlooked—handwashing stations. While it’s easy to focus on food, seating, and entertainment, ensuring proper hygiene should be a top priority.

At Ware2Go Site Services, we know that portable sanitation solutions aren’t just about providing porta potties and temporary restroom facilities—they’re also about keeping your guests comfortable, safe, and healthy. That’s why hand washing stations should be a non-negotiable part of your event setup.

Let’s explore why handwashing stations are a must-have and how they enhance any gathering.

1. Handwashing Stations Promote Health and Hygiene

When you’re bringing people together, germs and bacteria can spread quickly—especially when food, drinks, and shared surfaces are involved. Having handwashing stations available helps prevent the spread of illnesses, keeping guests feeling their best throughout the event.

✅ Reduces the risk of foodborne illnesses
✅ Prevents the spread of germs and bacteria
✅ Encourages good hygiene habits among guests

Pairing porta potties and restroom trailers with handwashing stations ensures that guests can maintain proper hygiene without having to worry about finding a place to wash up.

2. Essential for Food Handling and Catering Areas

If your event involves food trucks, buffet-style dining, or catered meals, handwashing stations become even more important. The last thing you want is guests handling food without a way to properly clean their hands.

For events where vendors and catering staff are preparing and serving meals, health regulations often require portable handwashing stations to be available. Ware2Go provides portable sanitation solutions that ensure compliance with these health and safety standards.

3. Enhances the Guest Experience

A clean, well-maintained event is one that guests will appreciate. No one enjoys feeling like they can’t wash their hands after using a porta potty or before eating. Adding handwashing stations makes your event more comfortable and enjoyable.

📌 Better comfort for guests – Clean hands lead to a more positive experience.
📌 More professional setup – Shows guests that you’ve thought of every detail.
📌 Encourages cleanliness for kids – Especially important for family-friendly events.

Providing handwashing stations alongside portable toilet rentals gives your event an added layer of hospitality and professionalism.

4. Pairs Perfectly with Portable Restrooms

While portable toilets provide the necessary restroom facilities, handwashing stations complete the setup. Having a way to wash hands after using the restroom makes a huge difference in overall cleanliness.

Event restroom setups often include:
    ✔ Porta Potties – Cost-effective and convenient for any event.
✔ Handicap-Accessible Units-  Larger inclusive porta potties with handrails.
✔ Portable Restroom Trailers – Higher-end options with running water, climate control and added comfort.
✔ Handwashing Stations – Ensuring guests can maintain proper hygiene.

Ware2Go helps create a clean and organized sanitation plan for your event.

5. Helps Prevent the Spread of Viruses and Infections

With recent concerns about public health, many event planners are prioritizing sanitation more than ever. Handwashing plays a crucial role in stopping the spread of viruses and infections.

Public health experts emphasize that regular handwashing with soap and water is one of the best ways to prevent sickness. By providing handwashing stations, you give guests peace of mind and encourage better hygiene practices. For more information on the importance of hand washing visit the CDC website.

6. Required for Many Events and Permits

Depending on the size and type of your event, local regulations may require you to provide handwashing stations alongside your portable toilet rental. Festivals, food events, and public gatherings often need to meet health department guidelines to ensure the safety of attendees.

Ware2Go helps event planners stay compliant by offering a variety of portable sanitation solutions that meet health and safety requirements. Our team can guide you through the process and make sure you have everything needed for a worry-free event.
