Really really sorry, but chemical toilet question! (1 Viewer)

[Cliffdale]

Cant find this on a search but here goes!
I read somewhere that the blue stuff shouldn't be added until you are ready to go away.

So to keep the loo smelling fresh when not in use, can I add a washing bio tablet now, then add the blue when we are going away?

I'm thinking its a double dose and one will cancel out the other.

I'm not sure if I can add the blue now but leave in 2 weeks?

Its a Thetford cassette loo.

dont use anything , much better . tip after use and dont wash out . keep the good bacteria working .
plus it doesnt spoil sewage works with no chemicals .
many get spoilt as the chemicals kill the good bacteria in the works .

On handover, I was told the loo had blue stuff in it. 2 weeks later, I emptied the loo, no blue was added and it was a bit stinky! What ever bacteria festered, it didn't work!

I only use Blue and wash out every time as soon as I return so leave blue in tank for however long I am not away for, which is not normally longer than 2-3 weeks though.

We use Vanish in ours we never need to empty it

 

[Rockcrawler]

I have always left the blue in the tank whether it's being used or not and have never had any issues or stinky loos.

we just leave a bit of water and blue in...........although we get away every 2nd or 3rd weekend so not a long spell in between, so far so good....

This what

[Deleted member 29692]

We don't leave anything in it when it's not being used and just use blue when we're away and going to use it.

We then give it a good rinse out when we're leaving for home and have ever noticed any smells.

Just buy a new cassette for each trip - thought everyone did that

We're posh, so our poo don't pong ... no need to use any chemicals !

Simplistic that it may seem, I just follow the instructions. After emptying, put in the required amount of blue and add a litre of water

No smells, works for me

Does the Blue toilet chemical still contain that evil, environment damaging stuff that they have banned in Germany?

Just wondering

Stick bio liquid in after each emptying

For many years I used the blue stuff but got fed up with it staining, I also got nagged by my daughters to use some that was green and kind to the planet, so I started using the green liquid. I didn't find that this worked as well as the blue stuff though. Last year I started using the biological washing liquid and find this much better than the "proper" blue or green liquids. I use the washing liquid cap and put 1 or 2 capfuls of the liquid into the cassette. I don't add any water as I can't see any sense in part filling the cassette before we start. I find this works for us

Cheers

Why put any chemicals in at all? SH1T is a perfectly natural substance which breaks down perfectly well once disposed of into a sewerage system.

Come on, it's been a while since we last posted this.

Personally I use blue, lots of it as I want my poop to completely break down and never smell.

Then rinse, bleach, rinse and then it doesn't smell when parked up. Also leave the flap very slightly open to air and never any stinks.

As to the thing about good bacteria, it's not a actimel with L Casei Danone, it's poop, with germs and some secret stinky ingredients that makes it STINK!!!!

Lots of blue, lots of bleach when parking up, lots of rinsing, job done

I've had chicken, I've had turkey, I've even had pheasant, but I've never tried chuffin, is that a member of the chaffinch family

Good job I didn't post the other one then

I think you can gather from the above replies @Cliffdale, that you can find a way that works for you. Leaving some blue in with a litre of water, when not using it doesn't seem to do any harm ( 10 years experience) but of course you could just leave it well rinsed out.
Following threads on here, I started on the bio washing liquid last year and found it worked well but didn't leave a fresh amount in the empty tank, I thought it might just solidify a bit. ( over a couple of months inactivity)

Only can make sure when you lay up you put some olive oil on the seal

[jockaneezer]

We use the bio tablets but don't think it does such a good job regarding the odour problem, someone mentioned adding a splash of Zoflora but I'm concerned it would undo the work of the bio tabs ?

 

[PP Bear]

And just so we're a 100% sure, we mean this seal......

Lubricated with something suitable such as this........

And not this seal that's difficult to catch and probably doesn't need any lubracating at all

[denisejoe]

I always oil and then leave the toilet open then no pressure on the seal, never any smell with bio and a good rinse out

Probably. Not any good using the blue if it is emptied in to a septic tank. kills everything.
