Funds are low until pay day and I really want to clean out the toilet this weekend, in my new caravan but without buying all the blue stuff and that.
Can I use toilet bleach and other such things on/in it or will I damage the seals?

They say not to use bl;each as it is a "corrosive" I think.

Yes it might damage the seals and other bits inside. Try using hot water.

For actually cleaning the toilet bowl, I would recommend you do not use bleach or regular household toilet cleaners.
Thetford do a bowl cleaner, and a plastic cleaner. More expensive than bleach, but will not damage your seals etc. A bottle of each will last at least 2 years, so not that expensive.

Its a false economy to say that you wish to avoid buying the right kind of cleaner for the vans bits and pieces. caravans are not built in the same way, or with the same materials as we are used to at home. So, in addition to the potential seal damage there is the possibility of damage to the actual loo. Cost of repairs outweighs doing the job right

We use Ecover loo cleaner. Pretty sure that doesn't damage anything and doesn't cost a fortune. That's it - we use nothing else. .. oh yes we do ! - we put that green stuff in the poo tank.
Milton fluid we periodically use for cleaning the aquaroll etc.
