I mix some dawn and water in a bucket with a paint mixer attachment on my cordless drill. i beat it into a huge foam ball then pour it into the toilet as a final rinse. Leaving the lines open my hose is left sparkling clean. a drop or two of bleach is ok also. I have a dump at my home so my final dumping is done on my time. Also some into the sink and shower has eliminated the odor i have complained about.
