Can I use household cleaners in my RV?

Protecting the seals must be foremost in mind when cleaning the RV toilet. Bleach and acids found in most household cleaning products will potentially dry out and damage the seals. Mild organic acids and Citric Acid will not cause harm. The acids generally found in household toilet bowl cleaning products, will dull and pit the bowl surface.

“Non-abrasive” household cleaning products may still be abrasive enough to dull and scratch the RV toilet bowl making it vulnerable to future stains. Thetford® products are specifically developed and tested on RV surfaces and they’re compatible with RV plumbing systems.
