Prior to moving off site, we empty the waste tank and then dissolve a washing liquid pod in half a sink of hot water and run it off into the tank. This gives the tank a good rinsing whilst the MH is en route to our next destination and all the smells are eliminated.

We use the sink to wash dirty pots, we don't actually clean them first!
Before the waste water tank is used either a bio washing capsule or half a bottle of cheap coke is inserted and all is well!
The capsules also work in the toilet cassette as many will testify

So.... being a bit thick here sorry.
To be absolutely clear. With a caravan a bio-tablet in the waste container before use to alleviate possible smells( though we've never had problems) but also helping to clear out the crud that accumulates no matter how careful you are with washing up.
To actually clean out the waste pipes from sinks & shower...rinse through from the aquaroll after cleaning fluid has been added into that...as long as hypochlorite stuff hasn't be used.
Is this correct please?
Anybody have experience of the coke trick? Have 2 bottles of the stuff in the cupboard that we will never drink!!

We never had problems with a caravan waste water system, PN. It's easy enough to rinse the waste water container out after each trip and, to us, being careful with washing up water means using a bowl and carrying it to the disposal point rather than tipping it down the sink. We did that in our cavans and continue to do it in our MH.
