Why Running Water Matters: A Guide to Hygienic Event Toilets
When planning an event, details like catering, décor, and entertainment are usually front of mind - but hygiene facilities are just as important. One of the key features that sets luxury event toilets apart from standard temporary units is running water, particularly hot and cold taps.
At Cambridge Luxury Toilets, every one of our portable toilets for hire is equipped with proper sinks, hot and cold running water taps, and stylish vanity units, creating a clean, comfortable environment that feels more like a real bathroom. In this guide, we explore why running water is such an essential element for hygienic, high-quality events.
1. Running Water Greatly Improves Hand Hygiene
Standard temporary toilets usually offer only hand sanitiser or a basic cold-water system. While these are functional, they don't match the hygiene standard that guests expect at weddings, corporate events, private parties, or any high-quality gathering.
With our luxury units, guests can properly wash their hands with:
- Hot and cold water
- Real sinks
- High-quality hand soap
- Clean hand towels
This level of hygiene is particularly important at events involving food and drink, and for occasions where families with young children are attending.
You can explore our facilities in more detail on our Luxury Units page.
2. A Cleaner and More Comfortable Guest Experience
Running water helps keep each unit fresher throughout the day. Guests can wash their hands properly, clean up after themselves, and feel comfortable using the facilities - something that simply isn't possible in basic portable units.
This makes our toilets especially suitable for:
- Weddings, showcased on our Wedding Toilets page
- Corporate functions, highlighted on our Corporate Event Toilets page
- Parties and private events, via our Party Toilets section
- Festivals, where cleanliness can otherwise be a challenge
A hygienic toilet facility reflects the overall quality of the event, and running water is at the heart of that standard.
3. Preventing the Spread of Germs and Illness
Good handwashing significantly reduces the spread of bacteria and viruses - a key consideration for event organisers. Whether you're hosting a close-knit garden party or a large corporate event, ensuring that guests can wash properly with running water helps:
- Maintain hygiene
- Reduce contamination risks
- Keep guests comfortable and confident
This is especially important at events involving shared surfaces such as catering tables, bar areas, and equipment stations.
4. Running Water Supports Better Overall Maintenance
Running water doesn't just benefit guests - it also helps us keep units looking immaculate throughout your event.
Our team can:
- Top up supplies
- Wipe down surfaces more effectively
- Keep vanity areas spotless
- Maintain sinks and taps throughout the hire period
This approach ensures the facilities continue to look and feel high-end for as long as your event runs. For multi-day events, our Long-Term Toilet Hire service is designed to ensure consistent hygiene and quality.
5. A More Refined and Professional Appearance
Toilets equipped with running water simply look more appealing. The presence of real sinks, taps, large mirrors, and vanity areas creates a clean, modern appearance that blends seamlessly into luxury events.
Our units also come with:
- Soft LED lighting, featured on our LED Lighting page
- Attractive finishes
- Thoughtfully designed layouts
- A spacious interior, which sets them apart from standard temporary toilets
This is important at weddings, corporate hospitality events, and any occasion where presentation matters.
6. Running Water Enhances the Overall Guest Experience
Your guests remember the food, the entertainment - and the facilities. A clean, modern toilet with running water leaves a far better impression than a basic plastic unit with no sink.
By providing comfortable, hygienic, well-lit bathroom facilities, you show that every detail of your event has been carefully considered.
