Portable toilets have come a long way since their humble beginnings, evolving from basic pits to the modern units we use today. They first gained traction in the 1940s on WWII shipyards, where workers needed quick sanitation without plumbing. Early designs were crude—think wooden boxes over holes—but by the 1960s, fiberglass units brought durability and mobility. Today’s portable loos, like CleanLoo’s, boast flushing tanks, natural light, and eco-friendly features, a far cry from their ancestors. The shift to lightweight plastics in the ‘80s made them easier to transport, perfect for Ireland’s festivals and rural sites. Disabled-access models emerged later, reflecting a push for inclusivity. Innovations like biodegradable chemicals and sealed systems now minimize environmental impact, aligning with sustainability goals. At CleanLoo, we’re proud to carry this legacy forward with hygienic, user-friendly rentals. From construction to weddings, portable toilets have become indispensable, blending practicality with modern comfort.
