Toilet cleaning

Can I clean my camper toilet with regular cleaners or are there special products to use?
  • Yes, I have just used normal toilet cleaning supplies in all our RV toilets, both plastic and porcelain, without any problems.
  • If you use liquid dish wash detergent to clean the toilet bowl, don't use too much like I did. When I emptied the black water at the dump station, bubbles, millions of bubbles came over flowing from around the hose! Took a lot of water to wash the area down. On the bright side, at least it was clean for the next camper!
  • I flush but don't refill the bowl.
    Give a good shot of liquid dish detergent in the bowl, then fill with water,wait a few seconds then flush the sudsy water down .
    For stubborn stains or rings leave the soapy water in the bowl till the next use.
    No fuss no muss or nasty brushes to stink or clean.
    Good Luck, Mike
  • Porcelain or plastic toilet?

    If plastic a good coat of automotive paste wax after cleaning keeps things from sticking to sides.
    If you use a formaldehyde based holding tank chemical is would be safest NOT to use a bleach based cleaner a possibility of noxious fumes being produced not a great risk but a possibility
  • Ask my wife, I've never done it...
    Seriously, whatever you use at home you can use in your RV.
