e Use of strong caustics, acids, alkalis or chemical detergents can damage the
system and cause bad odours.

e Use of disinfectants or other bactericides can kill the active bacteria.

e Placement of grease/fats or food scraps down the kitchen sink can put extra
load on the system. ie. Plates should be scraped reasonably clean prior to

washing up.

e Disposal of used cooking oil or similar material down the sink can cause excess
accumulation of fat in the treatment tank.

6.4 Cleaning Products & Cleaning Hints

Toilet:

Cleaning the bath:

Nappies:

Bleach:
Wash frequency:

Avoid:

Pine-O-Clean or Toilet Duck must only be used in very
limited quantities.

Ajax or similar product may be used if the plug is in the bath and
the bulk of the cleaning material is wiped out with a paper towel
which is later disposed of in the bin. Spray & Wipe can also be
used for this purpose.

Most nappy products are Anti-Bacterial Solution and as such
should not be used.

Should not be used in the system.

Ideally you should do 1-2 loads per day over several days, this
reduces the hydraulic shock loading on the system.

Using showers, washing machines, etc. at the same time, or in
close succession, should be avoided to space out the hydraulic
load.

Most dishwashing detergents are strongly alkaline and should be used in moderation.

When shopping for various cleaners, detergents, toilet paper etc., check the labels to
determine their safety to treatment plant. Failure to comply with these
recommendations can result in problems with your system.

Many products labelled “Safe for Septics” should not adversely affect the system. If you
wish to try a new product and it does not cause smeil problems and the water remains
clear, then it is probably safe to use.

With all cleaning: Do not use excess cleaners or detergents.
