Toilet cassette fluid/freshner

Elsan Herbal and then a good slug of Tesco Bio liquid and filled to the top with water when we got back inbetween trips,

However, i did empty and thoroughly rinse out ours every day after the usual functions, none of that every 4 or 5 days like some of you lot 😱
 
i tend to use the aldi or lidl tabs but at times use a bit of duck (no bleach in it) just to help with any smells.
 
I only use the toilet for number one's if in a hurry. Use the cheapest bio tablets/sachets I can find use public toilets for number two's
 
We did try bio/standard washing tablets and in cold weather, they may appear to work. But we found when it gets hot, we had to dose the cassette every day. For the very minimal saving, it is not worth it. We just use green liquid from Lidl or Aldi that is made for the job, which washing tablets are not.

Lidl and Aldi sell the proper green and blue stuff? We don't have an Aldi but we do have a Lidl in Richmond and Barnard Castle.

They do, but you have to wait for them to advertise it at the beginning of the season. It works well too and a lot cheaper than proprietary brands.

Thanks! Good to know. The local stuff from our nearest (not that near) dealer is ok but not brilliant. I will ask my "shopper" to look out for it in the spring.
 
We use copper sulphate from the garden centre ,dissolved in about a pint of water works well on also works on smells from the grey tank also.

Don't assume that Aldi and Lidl.products are the same.
The Lidl bio washing liquid (in sachets or a bottle) works well for me, but the Aldi equivalent didn't when I tried it. I don't remember what was wrong with it, though.
 
Seems like a good thread to join! We don't use any product in the cassette. We have a SOG which helps take the smell away. If, occasionally we end up close to another van on an aire, I will put some liquid in. I am currently carrying a container I bought in Action, a chain of shops which sells all manner of things in France. I think I paid €4 for 2 litres. I can't find it on their website now so may not still be available. If you live in or visit France Action shops are well worth a visit but can be annoying when items you've bought before don't reappear. I find them to be an excellent source of mobile phone charging cables.

Back to cassette usage! We only use the cassette for number 2's and OH's number 1's. I always pee in a bottle as this saves the cassette filing up too quickly. it's easy to empty the bottle daily at the cassette emptying place or down a toilet. Also we don't put any toilet paper or wipes in the cassette. We use bio-degradable nappy bags and put them into the normal rubbish. You can get the nappy disposal bags in supermarkets. I think the last ones I bought in Asda were about £1 for 300.

Back in the day when we used or thetford the way it was designed we found that in hot climates Elsan was the only one we could rely on, nowadays nothing at all goes in the thetford but it's a handy place to sit.....

Sog unit no chemicals, the cassette must have the proper outlet screwed into it instead of the vent plug, or it will still smell. Need a strong stomach when emptying after more than a day though.
