Thetford - additional cleaning chemicals

[Graham of Madrid]

Hello again !

Is it OK to use additional cleaning products like Toilet Duck for the Thetford or are theses a big NO NO

Thanks for your help.

I would say do not use any normal household cleaning toilet stuff anywhere near your toilet bowl as its plastic, can stain or even maybe melt if you use the wrong chemicals. Just was out the bowl with either the thetford pink stuff diluted down and put in a trigger spray bottle or just plain or soapy water.
As for the Thetford Cassette these are are stronger, you can use many things all listed on here before, but the favourites are the blue, or Green additive one capful for each use, or many use BIO washing machine tabs or sachets, some even use Baking Soda, but if you have a SOG extraction fan device, you dont need to add anything to the cassette really, but even though we have a SOG unit, I still add some chemicals for a nicer fresh smell, and I always spray the pink stuff around the bowl after every flush as it keeps the bowl clean & fresh.
Wish I had a pound for every time these toilet questions come up, but hope that helps.

Yes, as above. A spray bottle of Thetford pink and a bio washing tablet/liquid pouch in the cassette is all you need.
I do use Thetford silicone spray on the blade and seal when not using the MH. Any silicone spray would do though.
I’ve got some Thetford bowl cleaner because it came in a starter pack with new MH but I probably will just use soapy water with a touch of dettol in when it runs out.

I've been using dettol spray on mine for years - not a problem

Most household toilet seats are plastic and they don't seem to melt or discolour.

+1 For making up an old spray bottle with the pink stuff diluted in it. A squirt after flushing certainly seems to keep it all clean, and a squirt before the main event of the day seems to make the bowl a bit more "non stick".

i wouldn't use toilet duck at home we did and found it builds up black scale in the bend which creeps down into the bowl;

Thanks for the advice.

Looking on Amazon I see the following;

Aqua rinse, Aqua rinse plus and Aqua rinse concentrated.

I suppose the concentrated is the one to buy, right ?
