As per the title, we have about run out of blue stuff and I have seen a lot on here about washing stuff instead, now bearing in mind every thing here is in Italian, what do we need.
Thanks.

Formil washing pods in Lidl, the green boxes are the biological ones. Green box in Aldi too but I don’t know what they are called.

Over 8 years using it in this van now 👍 the inside of the cassette is slightly faded, other than that, no problems 😎

Thetford will spread their scare stories of course 🤔 so would I if I was selling bottles of stuff for £££ a go 🤩

Just a note - if you've been using any kind of chemical give the cassette a thorough and repetitive clean to make sure you've got rid of every trace of the old stuff. If you don't it will quickly destroy the microbes in the biological stuff and you'll end up with, well, something you hadn't intended..................

Difficulty we found in European supermarkets is that they tend not to label things "bio" so it's not easy to make sure what it is they're selling.

That's right,that's why I asked, some have some form of , traditional, on them so I suppose that means non bio

On the continent, unlike UK, they do not use the word 'Bio'. You have to look on the ingredients/contents for the word 'enzyme/enzyma' etc. Take your glasses as the writing is usually small. Most of the products include it.

You can buy the liquid version an put a capful in each cassette change, or buy the capsules, which is what I do - shove one in my pocket before going to service point.

That is you sorted.

As above but my sixpeneth


It bio washing liquid -Standard stuff in Europe and usually says contains enzymes.
You can also use packets of dried yeast - readily available in supermarkets
The problem is converting to bio.
You have to clean out the cassette of all traces of chemicals or it will immediately kill the bio baby's.
It may take a few uses to get rid of all the chemicals.

So environmentally damaging and really bad for some dump spots...

No problems for you maybe but for the planet?

Just an aside, now on a site where the owner wanted only "green" toilet fluid used. Bought some Pro Kleen Organic which is the best I've used, everything liquefied completely and quickly.
