Join PHLUSH and The Bathroom App’s Restroom Scavenger Hunt!

By Phlush | March 30, 2025
PHLUSH is excited to announce a new partnership with The Bathroom Company, creators of The Bathroom App—a restroom-finding tool that prioritizes accuracy, reliability, and community-driven data. Unlike other restroom apps, The Bathroom App relies on real people to scout locations and take photos, ensuring better quality data. So far, the app is available in San Francisco and New York City, and now we’re helping to bring it to Portland, OR! To make this happen, we’re organizing a volunteer scavenger hunt throughout April to map public restrooms across the city. We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help us get Portland on the map—whether by joining us or contributing on your own time!
