Toilet tabs or good old pink and blue?

Our new tin tent has a Dometic toilet fitted. When we collected it we were told to use toilet tabs as they are the new pink and blue.

I’m not a convert as they don’t seem to keep odours at bay.

Is anyone else using tabs, and if so are you pleased with them or have you gone back to pink and blue? Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018

I use the normal pink flush fluid but get super strength dilutable blue fluid from hire portable toilets. Great stuff! Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Maybe you got just half a story? The thing people are using now instead of the blue fluid is clothes washing pods - particularly the own label from Lidl. I've only used on one trip but they worked well.

And you can use fabric conditioner to give the rinse water a cute smell as well. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

I thought people had - at least twice! It used to be a hole in the floor, and then people moved on to a bucket with a mixture of paraffin and water.

Next turn of the wheel may be to power the towing EV from the Censored ! Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

A lot of sites don’t allow you to use blue anymore, they want you to use green. Seemingly green is more environmentally friendly. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

I use the Blue Diamond Green and Pink fluids from Alde. The Green doesn't have formaldehyde (a biocide) like the blue stuff which makes me feel as though I am doing a little something eco-friendly to set against all the polar bear killing I do otherwise.

It works as well as the brand leaders for not much money. Why pay for Elsan or Thetford? It only ends up going down the kharsi.
