Another 400g Tub of Puriclean arrived at lunchtime, ready for the freshwater sterilising exercise tomorrow [last done November 2022]. Went mad and ordered the 1 Litre Container of DScale [so should squeeze 2 Dscales ...] instead of the smaller 500ml version for the Water Heater and sinks plus shower pipework decalcification [again last undertaken in November 2022]. I noticed last week in the last couple of days of our trip to Spain that the toilet cassette was also acquiring a film of calcium, giving something for the previous day's breakfast to cling onto, so I intend to give the lower couple of inches of the inside [roughly 2-3 Litres of water] a 'Shake and Stir', but keeping the solution away from the Rubber Seal, before flushing with plenty of fresh water

If anyone has any technical advice on why I shouldn't blast the calcium film from the cassette with the DScale solution [Citric Acid based], please shout up sharpish!

The Toilet Cassette usually gets a liberal sprinkling of Bio Detergent Washing Liquid, on the basis that, if you can't polish a turd, you can at least make it smell nice with the Rose Scented supermarket detergent [other aromas are available] ... :ROFLMAO:

you should watch what you put in any m/h tank's if you have heaters & gauges in like our swift

I just take out the cassette and put a bowl underneath when we clean the toilet.
The rubber seals are in the cassette so no worries about getting it on them 🤔

One reason is it could crack some plastic if it has got brittle, the slider can get stuck. Had great fun once sorting that out!
