Tank sensors are tough to keep clean no matter what chemical concoction is used whether homemade or store bought. You could add an internal tank rinser but ours never works very well, mostly just adds water to the tank rather than spraying internal tank walls with any deliberate force.
We know our tanks are empty after dumping, if we want our sensors to indicate the same we will run a tank wand for a couple of minutes to remove residual debris from tank walls where sensors are mounted. Don't do it every time we dump. maybe every third or fourth dump when we have full hookups.
It always astonishes me how much residual waste is still left even after dumping and refilling tank a couple of times. We just use lots of water and regular toilet paper we purchase in bulk from Samsclub, for us using the tank wand occasionally eliminates the need for odor masking concoctions.
