I have been using lidl bio washing fluid but today I was in aldi in Lagos Portugal and they had 5 liter tubs of bio for 99 cents about 80p needles to say I stocked up, as for measuring I just add a healthy glug or two each time I empty and clean it

Which is the 'BIO' in a Portuguese Lidl or Aldi
 
I believe the "Bio" in washing liquids refers to Oxygen Bleech. Anyhow, I've tried everything and by far the best is "Oxy" powder (oxygen bleech or Sodium Percarbonate by other names). You can pick up 500g for a Pound in the Pound shops, so not just is it the best stuff to use, it's probably the cheapest too....and safe to flush down normal toilets.

In the cassette I use Lidl washing tablets @ £2.50 for 36. I put in two at a time mostly, but can easily get away with one now that the weather's cooler.

I just flush with fresh water (I catch rainwater with my awning). I empty it into any toilet (even public ones at night when it's quiet), with the occasional burial' when I'm in the middle of nowhere.

There is very little smell (even when emptying) and I use the toilet all the time; not just for number twos as some people on here advocate.

I used the pink and blue stuff when I first started out, but the smell is terrible, it's expensive, it stains like hell, it's bad for the environment (and poisonous) and you can't just bury it or flush it down a toilet without potentially causing problems to both sewage treatment works and septic tanks.

Before changing to these tablets, I thought about the SOG system. However, as this method is so successful, I can't see any reason for doing so now - especially considering the OTT price of £120.00 (you could make your own for under £20.00).

Totally agree with Sky on this and have had similar experiences. Since changing over, toilet is cleaner and much less hassle to empty.
