Sodium Bicarbonate

Thus, baking soda can help suppress and eradicate unpleasant odours and keep drains free from clogs. A simple way of applying this is to apply one cup of baking soda in a bowl and allow it to simmer for about half an hour before flushing. This results to a soothing smell that will survive a handful of usage.

Alkaline: Chemical substances that contain properties of alkali or have a pH greater than 7 are known as alkaline and are also used to eliminate unattractive rings that can easily form around the toilet bowl. You can apply white vinegar into the portable toilet to regularly clear existing rings and prevent the formation of new ones.

Aside from the above mentioned, deodorisers can also be added to portable toilets to create a great aroma. These deodorisers are made with a diverse range of scents with eco-friendly products featured in a good number. Indeed, there is a great need for clean portable toilets to prevent the spread of bacteria and ensure that a degree of freshness is maintained.
