How much cleaner is a portable restroom that is cleaned and disinfected with Biffs Pathfinders ORIGINAL Disinfecting System vs. the industry’s current service procedures?

When used as directed, the disinfectant’s results were verified by an independent laboratory. We secured the services of a national testing laboratory, Silliker Labs, to measure the difference. This is what we discovered.

  • Reduction in bacteria by 56% over traditional summer cleaning methods
  • Reduction in mold by 132% over traditional summer cleaning methods
    • Lab results for traditional cleaning increased mold by 84% from brush transferring mold from one surface to another
  • Kills bacteria that causes odor
  • Kills mold and inhibits mold from growing

Will my customers notice a difference from using the ORIGINAL Disinfecting System vs. our traditional service procedure?

The first two or three services with the disinfectant you need to thoroughly scrub the units down to eliminate mold, mildew, heavy dust, mud, graffiti, etc. this effort will pave the way for quicker and easier servicing for the technician in the future.

How do we sell the benefits to our customers?

How do we disinfect in the winter months if we experience freezing temperatures, below 32°F for extended periods of time?

Since we are located in Minnesota, we have had the opportunity to test a number of options. We have settled on the most effective and economical means of disinfecting a portable restroom in the winter. Our winter system is a partial disinfecting procedure that focuses on the touch points and the inside of the tank. It is not intended to replace the Original System that provides a total disinfecting treatment at each service.
