TALKING TOILETS
Practical Motorhome
|July 2023
Confused about which chemicals you should (or shouldn't) be using in your motorhome toilet? Here we explain the various types and how to use them
-
One of the many great benefits of owning a motorhome is having your own facilities on board, which makes keeping your toilet fresh and clean really important.
There’s a wealth of toilet chemicals out there, however, so what’s the difference between them, and which should you choose?
Here’s our guide to the different types available, and what they do.
Waste-tank chemicals
The typical motorhome toilet includes a holding tank below the bowl – once this is full, you remove the cassette, before emptying it into a dedicated disposal point (never anywhere else).
It’s crucial to use some form of toilet chemical or additive in the tank to help break down waste and paper, and keep things smelling fresh.
