Don636 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 On my cassette I can remove the entire internal workings attached to a cover plate which can be rotated and lifted out. It is then easy to clean the internal workings and the cassette with a mix of soapy water and bleach then leave open until dryed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 hymer1942 - 2020-04-14 7:16 PM Evening all what is the solution for cleaning the inside of my cassette toilet. Thank you in advance. Barrie I believe the toilet in your Hymer motorhome is the Thetford type shown in the attached image. There’s some information on the following link that might be useful https://www.caravanvlogger.co.uk/thetford-toilet-cassette-maintenance/ and it will be seen that Thetford markets a “Cassette Tank Cleaner” fluid. As Don has said, it should be possible to gain access to the cassette’s interior fairly easily, but that should not be necessary for simple internal cleaning. (I would suggest that - unless there’s something wrong with the cassette’s operating mechanism or seals - dismantling should be avoided.) Thetford’s advice nowadays would (unsurprisingly) be to use their own cleaning product. Historically Thetford recommended a citric acid solution (which is what I use) but alternatve methods have been found to be effective. For example https://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Thetford-Cassette-Cleaning-Report-Back-/13585/ and there is plenty more discussion about this issue on-line https://tinyurl.com/yac2nvql (It goes without saying that the more frequently the toilet is used and the less regularly cassette-cleaning is carried out, the greater the build up of ‘scale’ will be within the cassette.)

the gog Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 we use 2 dish washer tablets (Aldi) in the cassette instead of "Blue" they break the waste down and keep the inside perfectly clean and scale free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here and unless it reeks to high heaven, I'm not doing anything about it. Only concession i make is to squirt a bit of the red stuff around the bowl which works for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breakaleg Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 We use bio clothes washing Tablets (compressed powder) from Lidl or Aldi, seems to work quite well and keeps the cassette sparkling clean. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
