Cleaning a porta potty may not be the most glamorous of tasks, but it is essential for hygiene and comfort, especially in locations where traditional plumbing is not available. With the advent of Noflex Digestor, a Canadian-made product proven effective in commercial settings and now available for personal use, this chore has become much simpler and environmentally friendly. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of cleaning a porta potty using Noflex Digestor.
Understanding Noflex Digestor
Noflex Digestor is a granular compound that targets the core issues in porta potties - odors and waste buildup. Its main action is to release oxygen bubbles upon contact with waste, which helps break down sludge and feed beneficial bacteria, leading to an odor-free and cleaner environment. It’s safe for aquatic life, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
Preparing for Cleaning
Before you begin, make sure you have protective gloves and possibly a mask, as dealing with porta potties can expose you to harmful bacteria. Ensure the porta potty is in a well-ventilated area.
Emptying the Waste
Firstly, you need to empty the porta potty's waste tank. Most portable toilets have a detachable tank for ease of disposal. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific porta potty model to detach and empty the tank at a designated waste disposal site.
Cleaning the Tank
After emptying the waste, rinse the tank with water. If there are visible residues, use a mild detergent and a long-handled brush to scrub the inside of the tank gently. Rinse thoroughly to ensure no soap residue remains.
Using Noflex Digestor
Once the tank is clean, it’s time to use Noflex Digestor. Sprinkle the recommended amount of Noflex granules directly into the tank. The granules will sink to the bottom and start releasing oxygen bubbles, which will not only break up any remaining sludge but also prevent future odors and buildup. The exact amount of Noflex to use will depend on the size of your porta potty's tank, so refer to the product's instructions.
Regular Maintenance
For ongoing maintenance, add Noflex Digestor to the porta potty after each emptying session. Regular use will keep odors at bay and make the cleaning process easier over time. A 475 gram pot of Noflex Digestor can last approximately 3-4 months, making it a cost-effective solution at around $3 per week.
Final Touches
Once you’ve treated the tank with Noflex Digestor, reattach it to the porta potty. Don’t forget to clean the exterior and seat of the porta potty with a disinfectant cleaner. This will ensure that the entire unit is hygienic and ready for use.
Conclusion
Cleaning a porta potty might not be a pleasant task, but with Noflex Digestor, it becomes a less daunting and more environmentally friendly chore. This product's ability to quickly neutralize odors and break down waste makes it an ideal solution for maintaining portable toilets in all settings - from camping and RVs to boats and outdoor events. Remember, regular maintenance is key to keeping your porta potty clean and odor-free.
