Thought that using the Thetford or Dometic green toilet tabs was relatively eco friendly but whilst they may be marginally better than some other toilet products it turns out that they aren't as environmentally green as their colour! Before anyone asks we've tried almost everything ever suggested on here & none so far are ideal.
On both recommendation from other Funsters & having thoroughly quizzed the manufacturers on their stand at the Show, Solbio https://www.solbio.co.uk/ seems like a good natural alternative to try. Know that fans would stock up on it when on the continent but now it's easy to buy it online in the UK & was selling well at the reduced Show price:

Looking forward to also using it to get rid of grey waste tank smells which have been difficult to totally eliminate. It can also be diluted in a spray to keep the toilet bowl clean or in a stronger concentration for cleaning the cassette tank. It is a clearish liquid with a pleasant but light smell which we like as have used Bio D cleaning products based on eucalyptus oil for years now. Unfortunately whilst the packaging is recyclable in some European countries it's not in our part of the UK yet. For ease of use we will probably decant it into a small bottle for trips. Fingers crossed this is the product that really works for all these applications & hoping to have a discount code for Funsters for the Solbio website for anyone else who wants to give this a go!

Like you we’ve been using the green thetford or Dometic tablets and Yes like you we’ve tried the bio liquids etc and no they do not work as well! I look forward to seeing a discount code but might try them anyway. Thank you.

While we wait for a Fun discount code, doing a search on the forum found KATBIRD which takes 10% off so may be handy for anyone wanting to buy now - it makes the 1.6L 40 dose £22.50 delivered. It's £22.15 here https://www.biggreensmile.com/produ...r-mobile-toilets/solbio.aspx?productid=solbio but delivery on top unless order is over £55 & £21.60 plus delivery if C&MC members https://shop.caravanclub.co.uk/product/1940040/solbio-natural-toilet-chemical-fluid which may be handy if ordering other items. Hope that helps!
