I have a customer who needs his Port-a-Johns washed while at his shop. (First thing, I am NOT pumping these things or getting into the really nasty areas) This should be an quick exterior and interior wash. Probally a lot of grafitti removal. Anybody have any experience with these things? like how long they take, what to look out for, etc. Pricing help would be helpful too, but I can call you for that. Just leave me a number. Thanks guys.
 
Thanks Uncle David.

The crapper company is doing the enviro cleaning. He wants me to pw the exterior and remove grafitti inside. thats all, I drew a very clear line about that!!
 
First off thank you for your service Mike. And welcome to PWI.

I have zero experience with J Johns, but I assume they wouldn't take much to clean. The graffiti should wipe off with a solvent since spray paint should not adhere well to the fiberglass. Then spray down with Simple Green, Pine Sol or a bleach solution, I would assume.

Just don't drop your phone in the horseshoe bucket. Did that once, reported the phone "lost" to my insurance.
 
I would use a exhaust hood spinner for the inside. That way you can close the door and blast away without getting any crap on you. LOL

That actually is not a bad idea if they had a good size opening in the top!

Most of the ones here are plastic like what the tanks are made out of, not too many of the one-piece fiberglass units like from years ago. The new ones come in flat boxes and are just panels that you connect together then add the top and then secure to the bottom, the high winds here blow them over all the time because they are not heavy like the older ones were.

Get a good brand graffiti remover and with a long wand and attachment (pivoting nozzle holder that Russ at Southside Equipment sells) you can get just about anywhere without getting the crap all over you then sanitize it.

Look at the MaxQuat that Delco Sells, it does a great job and leaves a "medicine" kind of smell behind which might be preferable over bleach on hot days. hahahahahahaha

I used that MaxQuat on a job the other week where I sanitized after cleaning up bird nests (6 large hefty bags worth) and a lot of bird droppings and that stuff got rid of the bird dropping smell real good.

The customer was happy and that is what matters!

I might look into the crapper cleaning business! hahahahaha

That just sounds too funny but might be a good source of income in these times, you just never know.
 
A house wash mix will be more than adequate as they are usually made of vinyl or fiberglass and they clean up pretty easy. Like Jim said a solvent or graffiti remover will take off the graffiti with a simple wipe. They are actually not that bad to clean...as long as they are empty.
 
Anthony, Tagaway is what you want to use on hard surfaces. It's a spray and wipe product. I have it in stock if you're interested.
