Hello People some advice please,to cut a long story short,the blade jammed on our cassette so we bought a second hand cassette of ebay but i feel i want to give it a clean before i install it in the van, i was going to use "Harpic Power Plus" but wondered if it would damage the internal workings of the cassette being plastic & rubber etc, but then i thought it comes in a plastic bottle anyway many thanks Conqueror.

Should be OK to use as toilets in houses sometimes have a rubber seal on it and plastic pipework.

Our hand book tells us to never use house hold cleaners in the caravan.

The Thetford cassette had book states never use household bleach of any kind it can damage the seals and other components

You should use Thetford toilet cleaner in the actual toilet this in turn goes into the cassette.

Heres one I didn't know . Thoroughly clean the seals and valve blade. Rub them with Olive Oil and wipe them over with a cloth or a piece of toilet paper. Repeat the above if the seal or blade get dirty or sticky on opening or closing

Note : Never use Vasoline or any vegtable oil except olive oil. Using any other type of oil may cause leakage.

Now I've learnt something new.
