Ecover bio degradeable washing liquid

[The Tafia]

Im sure this or similar has been asked previously but I was wondering if anyone uses the Ecover bio washing liquid in their Thetford cassette.

We just use the cheapest one we can get, usually Formil from Lidl. There's no need to use anything more expensive.

Is it biological or bio degradable - different things, I think.

Cheapo from Lidl us still the best in my opinion.

Another Lidl vote here. Ecover too expensive for that.

It's cheaper, it smells better and does the job. It is also better for the environment.

A lot of campsites are not on the mains sewer and use a septic tank for loo cassette emptying.
A septic tank relies on living bacteria to break down the contents that's deposited into a septic tank and the blue contains formaldehyde which will kill the living bacteria, and really piss off the site owner, just ask Jim.
Always use a loo additive that will not harm a living bacteria and you can safely use it on any campsite.

Don't see why not. As you say you use bio liquid to wash clothes and that goes into the grey waste.

Dishwasher tablets or powder is a better option for your grey waste tank.

We’ve found Formil not great as a laundry detergent but denisejoe do you reckon it works in the toilet cassette as a bio-degrader? That would be great as the green stuff we’ve recently bought smells pretty horrible even before it has anything to chew on.

Any of your folks use Solbio? Totally chemical free. Would love to hear any feedback?

It does the job and breaks everything down so it's liquified to dispose of it.

The ingredient list looks excellent!

I've not tried it yet, don't even have a vehicle to put it in until next month, but I try to live as chemical free as I can. I just ordered some, got a 10% discount code if you use KATBIRD at https://www.solbio.co.uk/product-page/sustainable-camping-solbio-original-xl-40-doses

Cheers.
