serious question. I have been told that by constantly cleaning your loo you will bugger your septic tank as the detergents kill the good stuff that breaks down the rubbish. Any nifty ideas to overcome this ??

Serious answer: Not if the surfactants (detergents) are biodegradable. However, the bugs in your septic tank can be killed by other chemicals used in most toilet cleaners. These chemicals are common biocides such as chlorine (hypochlorites), other bleaching agents and oxidising agents, strong acids and even some weaker acids e.g. trichloroisocyanuric acid can wipe out the bug colony quickly if used in large quantities.

Spasmodic use of these toilet cleaners won't do any long term damage to the bug colony. The little 'buggers' are tough as old boots.

If you're still worried you could try elbow grease instead.......or a jobby wheeker!

Sorry for the seriousness of my reply which was in answer to a serious question.

Not serious answer:

Do the normal batchelor thing and don't clean it all, the sceptic tank will probably get on like a house on fire. Advise you avoid smoking or any naked flames within 100m of the dunny! Either that or where a crash helmet.

I have a Gf, so I dont need to clean the toilet

[stevemcqueen]

I don't see what the problem is.......

.....My toilet doesn't hum...it talks to me!!!

I never buy any fancy cleaners for anything.

What bleach doens´t take care of, isn´t worth taking care of.

An aside of trivia.

After spending most of my life working in bars restaurants, hotels, and even a school for a while, I can unequivocally state that the women´s toilets are - without exception - the dirtiest, after a day or night.

This I have seen in Holland, England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Turkey, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia, Italy, Guatemala.

this I have seeni n Hi-SO circles, and Low-SO Hill tribe, indigenous, whathaveyou.

We are ALL under the same blue sky.

Or same blue toilet cleaner.

Or something.

Hopefully --- noone is stupid enough to take that gimmick for anything other than someone trying to get a marketshare of something?

If you haven't recognised this country - and its population - as one of the most toilet cleaning aware countries in the world ... well, you must be limiting yourself to only the really dirty places ...

[Totster]

I have a Gf, so I dont need to clean the toilet

Lucky her....

You must be joking!

When I was at uni I too used to work part time cleaning public toilets at a caravan park back in Australia, and I can attest to this too.

I don't know if it's the same in Thailand though...
