Cleaning a Thetford Toilet

[Origin Unknown]

Not the inside of the cassette

It seems the full light isn't working and consequently, the toilet was overfilled. The only solution was to pull the cassette and clean up using paper towels as best we could onsite.

Now back at home, what can I use to clean the inside of the cassette locker? Theres a long list of chemicals you can't get near a Thetford so any advice? Can I just detergent, brush and rinse with a hose?

1/4 fill with water, make sure everything is closed and give a good shake. I try and do this as often as possible.

Short of buying a refresh kit, that’s my only other suggestion.

Ah! Yes, I have cassette cleaner for that (plus we purchased the refresh kit when we bought it last year).

My question is how do I clean the inside of the cassette locker. It was flooded with piss when I had to pull the over filled cassette, now back at home, I was to disinfect and clean it.

Mmm more difficult, if you use anything wet disconnect the mains and the battery. Maybe use wet wipes? There are a number of electrical wire there so be careful. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Don't be too vigorous with it: there is a float switch inside which you could damage.

I think the state of our roads in the uk shake it more violently then I do!

Went to work with antibacterial wipes, took some time but the odour has certainly reduced. Cheers

We had a similar issue with our Thetford loo.
Ended up taking loo completely out to clean base and caravan floor .this will require the fill point resealing ,also possibly cassette door as well

Might be worth leaving one of those moisture collector things in the cavity and closing the door up for a few days. Would stop any damp smells.

Or leave a halved onion in there! Weird old wives tale, but actually works. The onion attracts nasties in the air and will kill off most smells. It’ll obviously replace them with the smell of onion, but that’ll dissipate after a few days too!
