Why does our porta potty smell like ammonia in heat?
We've got a standard portable toilet on our construction site for a crew of about 25 guys, been there for three weeks now. It's serviced weekly, but these hot October afternoons are turning it into a real problem. By 2 PM, it smells strongly of ammonia, not the usual chemical scent. The unit sits on level gravel, and the vacuum truck has no trouble reaching it. I'm wondering if the heat is breaking down the deodorizer faster or if something else is going on. Has anyone else dealt with this? Should we ask for a different type of deodorizer or more frequent service?
