Haventgotone Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hi everyone, We are currently out of the blue chemical for our porta potti and have searched every shop we visit for another bottle - they all seem to sell the pink deodoriser but not the blue. Please, please does anyone know where we can buy it - we are getting desperate now!!! I wondered if we could use a tiny amount of the stuff you put in the fosse septic - would this work? We live in department 24 near La Coquille Thanks in advance for any help Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes in a small pink container with a blue lid. It has a feint blue tint to it but works well. Mr Bricolage have stuff for chemical loos too.I have just noticed that you mention finding deodoriser but Mr Bricolage sell the proper stuff.

Haventgotone Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 Thanks Fulcrum,Have checked our local Intermarche with no luck - possibly I've looked in the wrong isle - looked where all the cleansers and washing powders are and also in the gardening section.Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alane Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Our local Leclerc had this - it was with a display of camping gas stoves etc and marketed by Camping Gaz. Smallish bottles only but they had Blue, Green and Pink fluids in the small bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 We were living in a caravan for a couple of years before we moved over here and a one point in Ireland we ran out of blue stuff and were miles away from a camping supply shop. So in the end we just didn't bother using any chemicals. There wasn't much of a difference smell wise, it smells bad regardless, so we didn't bother using any again after that. Also it has some nasty chemicals in eg formaldehyde, which is not good for you. I'd personally rather smell the yuck than the yuck mixed with the horrible smell and toxic chemicals of the blue stuff! Also porta pottis using it shouldn't be emptied in to septic tanks, maybe why it is not readily available over here. We never bothered with the special toilet paper either, just buy the really cheap value stuff, which they have plenty of over here, as it breaks down easily. In the end it all works out a lot cheaper!Louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 We use Domestos or similar bleach. We first had to use it in emergency when we ran out of proper stuff but find it is much more effective in dealing with the smells than the real stuff.

Chas Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Sunday driver and myself were the first two replies to this post just after it was posted. Is there a good reason why they disappeared? Surely not because I referred to a caravan accessory shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Glad you found your chemical. I found my post. It was a "senior moment." I replied to your question on another forum. [:$] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
