Pink and Blue

Bio gel washing pods 😉. We use Lidl Formil.  Others use Aldi or other value own brand ones. We still sometimes use the organic fluid. Our flush is direct from our water tank so don't use additives in the flush but some use fabric conditioner, some Zoflora disenfectant.

It's not essential to use pink in the flush water. We use nothing at all, the same as people like Bakers whose flush water comes from the main tank. I'd save your money and use nothing.

The only essential is blue, or an equivalent, in the cassette itself.

 I can't resist mentioning that there's still a lot on the front of the shelves, Elsan Blue for one, which rely on formaldehyde to do the job, which is disastrous ecologically - maybe not in individual doses, but like the contraceptive pill ending up recycled into the water we all drink, the formaldehyde builds up until it does have destructive effects.

There are some good eco or bio or organic ones available. There are also some ineffective ones, we hear, which cost much and do little. And some of those claiming "formaldehyde free" just substitute other nasty stuff. Can recommend one if you want.

Please name that product. 😃

Formil bio pods from lidl. (Green Box) People have tried other brands like Waitrose and had problems. In the flush water I use Aldi or Lidl fabric conditioner- smells lovely and no black bits. Massive savings over blue and pink. We have used it for something like 3 years now and wouldn't go back to blue. I used to handle blue like explosive- one mistake with it and bang goes that carpet, towel or whatever. 

Bio tabs from Aldi in the tank and a touch of blue in the flush tank. Last time I used "Pink" all black bits formed in the flush tank.

Fenwicks citrus pink flush has a really nice smell. Use the blue bags in the cassette are so easy to use with no risk of spillage. 

I get on fine with Lidl bio pods (now use them in the washing machine too) but I didn't get on so well with fabric conditioner in the flush.  However someone suggested a touch of Zoflora in the flush tank which I will try when I run out of the Pink. 

Zoflora is too expensive to dilute in the rinse tank. Fabric softener ideally should be diluted/mixed before pouring into the tank.

I find that strange Pippah? I put the same amount of Fabric Conditioner in that I would Pink and then fill the flush tank with fresh water. It's always flushed really well. I have to service the loo this winter- really looking forward to it I don't think😂😂.
