It is 25% sodium percarbonate which is the active ingredient, so that's OK.
I would add 1 teaspoon dry per #2 before flushing.
Cheers,
Peter

Should be fine, similar sodium Percarbonate content to Napisan, a few drops of Eucalyptus oil helps with odour as well.smile

We use "Nappy Soaker" and dilute Eucalyptus oil with water (very weak mixture) and use a trigger mist spray to spray bowl after flush. A very effective deodoriser and cleanser.

Yes, we use the cheapest no name brand we can find. Agree with extra spoon full per # 2. And use eucalyptus oil diluted as a spray or squirt.

Nope.

Soda ash is sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), not sodium percarbonate (Na2H3CO6). Two quite different compounds for two quite different uses.

I use either Napisan or Boost

But I make sure that it is the 32% sodium percarbonate, as for whatever reason, there are various strengths, of the same product

I put 75 ml (toilet cassette filling cap full), at the start, and up to now, I have never had to add any extra, in between fills

Before a #2, I will spray the back of the bowl, with a very dilute mixture of eucalyptus oil and water, to ensure that there is a slippery slope available

With two people using the toilet, I will empty every 3 to 3˝ days
On my own, I will empty every 5 days
