The term ‘skids’ originates from Seattle’s logging history. In the 19th century, ‘skid roads’ were used to slide logs down to sawmills. Over time, the term became associated with neighborhoods where poverty and homelessness were prevalent, particularly in areas like Seattle’s Pioneer Square. By reclaiming the term, we’re highlighting the importance of addressing homelessness and promoting dignity through sanitation.

Portable bidets help individuals experiencing homelessness by providing a dignified, hygienic, and affordable means of maintaining personal cleanliness.

We are located in Seattle.

Safe human waste practices are methods used to contain, handle, and dispose of human waste in a sanitary manner. These practices include using toilets or portable sanitation systems whenever available, properly containing and disposing of human waste, cleaning sanitation equipment regularly, and washing hands after using sanitation facilities or handling waste.

Proper sanitation plays an important role in protecting public health. Human waste may contain bacteria, parasites, and viruses that can spread disease when waste is not handled and disposed of properly. Practicing proper sanitation helps support healthier individuals and communities.

Unsafe disposal of human waste can increase the risk of disease transmission. Exposure to improperly managed waste may contribute to diarrhea and other illnesses. Severe diarrhea can lead to dehydration and other serious health complications. Proper sanitation practices help reduce these risks.

Good hygiene practices help reduce the spread of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. Cleaning sanitation equipment regularly and following proper handwashing procedures can help lower the risk of infection and support better overall health.

Hand hygiene is especially important after using sanitation facilities or handling waste materials. Hands should be washed thoroughly with soap and clean water whenever possible. When soap and water are unavailable, hand sanitizer may be used.

Clean sanitation practices benefit both individuals and communities. Proper waste disposal helps reduce environmental contamination, supports cleaner public spaces, and promotes healthier neighborhoods.

Yes. Helping people understand the importance of sanitation and hygiene can contribute to healthier communities and improved public health outcomes. Public education is an important part of disease prevention and environmental cleanliness.
