zaflora ,as clanjones said ,is good ,we have yoused it ,in the waste and the loo for many years ,never broke the seals ,and it dont break the bank,

I bought some of that One Chem and have used it twice. We can't stand the smell!

It is offensive. Had to travel 10 miles to get some of the old stuff we used to use and the bottle has been despatched to the bin.

I certainly won't be buying anymore and would certainly think this dreadful stuff is the cause of the smell. Our loo has never smelt before we used it.

I used some bleach to remove the smell and everything is now back to normal.

i to have been using the onechem stuff and after 6hrs its whiffy, cant stand the pink stuff, so last week started using zoflora and the blue block in the flush and guess what no wiffs, its cheap as chips. i use half a block of the cheap toilet blocks,and a cap full of zoflora in the cassette.

does the job for me. oh and i empty the toilet every 24hrs, and only wees aloud with no toilet paper thrown down.

Don't forget Fenwicks Top and Tail. Seems to work fine ! I quite like the smell. And no black bits. And Halfords stock it.

Oops repeating myself, sorry.

I probably break all the cleaning rules by filling it with warm water and popping a biological washing liquid pillow thingy in it, when we come back from our adventures. I just leave it to soak for an hour or so, then rinse well. I don't see why this would hurt it because the toilet fluid is enzymes and so is the washing pillow thingy. I then rub the rubber with a bit of olive oil. This method certainly cleans it and it doesn't honk.

The cassette is just like a big plastic butty box. I sometimes think manufacturers con us with their special products.

We brought some of the One-Chem at B'ham last year only used it twice, awful smell, gone back to Thetford Blue, all OK now,

Also we clean the cassette with warm soapy water after every trip then rinse thoroughly and leave to dry, then a little baby oil on the lip seal, works for us

I'm not to impressed with the Thetford toilet fluid. I would recommend Elsan. Never had any smells since we started usign it and never had a reocurrense of the "black bits" that we had with the Thetford pink.

There's no denying that Thetford make a good toilet, but their chemicals are not the best.

OneChem works fine for me. It smells of a mixture of bubblegum and almonds. Not harsh, not nasty, and (after spending the last four days in a festival field with few amenities) I can testify it does the job.

 sounds delicous !

We only use stuff that's green - not got a scooby what it's called, but you get blue as well which apparently is full of pretty  nasty chemicals. As no dumping is allowed in ours we reckon the green one will be sufficient.  

I'd take my chances of a whiff or 2 before risking damaging the seals though... could be a lot smellier if the seals perish.  But I do like the sound of the almonds & bubblegum !
