    Thirteen years ago when my wife and I bought our 3-bedroom, 2-bath house with a septic system, our escrow agent's husband owned a septic tank company. She told us to never clean anything with bleach that will go down into the septic tank. Bacteria is needed in the tank to break down the waste matter and using bleach will kill that bacteria. Since this product specifically says it is antibacterial, I would assume it also should not be used in a septic system. She also told us to never use the garbage disposal. We also have a washing machine discharge filter. We had our septic system tested and the tank pumped out for the first time recently (it's been just the two of us all this time) and everything was in perfect working order. But we won't wait another 13 years to have it done again.

    • @loverlyme

      The seals and gaskets will get damaged by using harsh chemicals inside the tank. You all dont know how to maintain things very well and are stearing people in the wrong direction. It's sad and wrong , you should be ashamed of your ignorance but I give everyone the benefit of doubt just do a little research before you try helping others if that is your goal.

    • @vanhattfield8292
      @vanhattfield8292 2 года назад +9

      Another trick that works great is `taking a small decorative bottle with a small opening and filling it with a cleaner with a good fragrance. Personally I use liquid Downey mixed 1 part Downey to 5 parts water. Fill the bottle with the liquid then insert a small piece of decorative cloth into the bottle. It acts as a wick and releases the fragrance into the air and gives off a "clean" smell. you can add small fake flowers or similar things so that it smells AND looks good. You can adjust how much is released by how much of the wick is exposed. It takes a little trial and error to get it set but once you it is dialed in, it is great. I keep one of these by each of my entry doors so that the first impression my guests get is a clean, fresh scent. My room can be messy as hell but everyone ignores that and always comment on how nice it smells. :P

      If you start to abrade your porcelain with those powder and acids you will create a forever job that will become worse over time. Chemicals in the tank can degrade rubber parts. E.g. vinegar. Solution? Idk that’s why I’m here. Afraid of bacteria in your toilet? Don’t eat out of your toilet😂

    After the first flush there would only be residual chemical left, that would mainly attach itself to the rubber and plastic washer’s, gaskets and seals and start degrading them. The greater amount of chemical added initially would go down the toilet after the first flush, not on a continuous cycle a little bit at a time.

    I turn off the supply line, and add a healthy dose of CLR to the tank, and flush. Then let it set for an hour, turn on the supply, fill the tank and do the process again. It really helps with the calcium that forms in the holes that fill the bowl. I do this twice every couple months keeping things running at full capacity.

    • @vanhattfield8292
      @vanhattfield8292 2 года назад +8

      That will work but if you are getting that much calcium buildup I would look into one of the inexpensive watersoftening sysyems you can get at places like Home Depot. They are relatively cheap and not hard to install. I recommend this because if you are seeing that in your toilet, it is also building up in places like your water heater and dishwasher. Even if you dont go that route you may want to flush your hot water heater to remove any of the scale that is probably laying at the bottom of your tank. As it builds up it not only reduces the volume of the tank, it aslo acts as a barrier to the heat source for gas water heaters and if it builds up enough it can short out an element on electric water heaters. Cheers!

Also, after using liquids for a length of time, in future you'll be able to calculate the number of ounces by counting your seconds while pouring, etc a 4-second count will equal 4 ounces.

    Ok ladies, here's one use of this cleaner for your husband. And I'm not joking. Mix it 50/50 with water. It is a great carbon and grease remover on engine parts like that oil and dirt encrusted intake manifold, filthy firewalls, and other under the hood cleaning. And if a shooting enthusiast, it's a dandy carbon cleaner for his weapons. Just remember to run a couple of dry patches down the bore and wipe it off from other parts. And oil it all afterwards, as it will remove oil and grease. He'll be able to hear the dry patch squeak it'll be so clean! And it won't get him run outta the house from harsh smelling solvents you ladies despise. His weapons will smell springtime fresh! Hint: it is fantastic at cleaning black powder weapons!
    You may now return to the toilet bowl and tank for further adventures. 🚽😁

    The best trick for clogged kitchen drains I ever found was to keep a plunger for exclusive use in sinks. Make sure it looks different than your toilet plunger, for obvious reasons. You need the kind that has a bellows, and if you have a double sink you’ll need a good stopper for one of them while you use it on the other, but I’ve never had a clog I couldn’t fix with a plunger.

      dumping baking soda and then vinegar into the drain of a "dry" sink evry once in awhile helps prevent buildup of the things that can later cause clogs. The vinegar reacts with the baking soda and the resulting bubbles can break up buildup. When the bubbling stops, flush with hot water for a minute or two. Do this once every 3-6 months and you weill never need your special plunger again. Cheers!

    I read a good post awhile back from a cleaning lady that cleaned offices at
    night when they were closed. When she started her shift, she poured Kool Aid
    in the tanks every night when she started. The Kool Aid contains citric acid and
    that's what I've been using and it works good. She said the toilets at the offices
    where she worked were all sparkling clean, from the Kool Aid. I did not believe
    it at first but it does work.

    One product you ought to try is the FluidMaster Flush N' Sparkle. Available in bleach, blue, and bacteria/emzyme (for septic) versions, this cartridge based system is much easier than the Fabuloso method and much better for the tank vs cleaning tabs.
    Also, each cartridge lasts up to 3 months.

    So this could be why staying in hotels could be causing people's allergies to go wild. I've gotten so sickly staying at a hotel, which looked very clean, that I couldn't get to my vacation part of the vacation. I knew that sickness, I just has to find it. Yes it was in the tank. Black Mold. Got an apology, a thank you, a huge upgrade and free stay for entire visit. Just saying. I was nice and they appreciated that. Room 2 was even cleaner

  • @LanakilaMiller

    I got the hack from a compilation on RUclips as I do not nor will have Tik Tok and it showed to take the entire bottle of the standard or small size use a knife and cut a hole in the bottom so that it can be submerged in the tank and it will only leak out when the tank gets empty from when you flush it lasting much longer than those little love toilet cleaner tablets as they claim to be which let’s all be real all they do is turn your toilet blue they don’t actually do any cleaning whatsoever. It’s funny how we have been convinced that those tablets that change your toilet blue or now some purple are actually doing some benefit because if they were you wouldn’t be changing them out once or twice a week let alone having to still scrub the inside of your toilet. I purchased the purple bottle because it’s lavender scented and I can’t handle strong chemicals smells it’s a heightened sense from my autoimmune disease so the things like Pine-Sol or really strong lemon from Lysol or the Clorox bleach I can’t handle that scent at all and there’s no amount of windows or fans that can blow it out surprisingly the lavender is very subtle I could care less with the color of the toilet is from the liquid But it doesn’t have a strong chemical smell and it refreshes the entire bathroom and actually does a really job cleaning the inside of the toilet up on every flush and there’s an extra added bonus that people don’t really pay attention to it doesn’t coat or stain anything on the inside of the toilet reservoir I like the blue tablets that get blue dye and film all over the parts which if you do enough of it overtime causes them to fail or just break.
    So far for the toilet area in a bathroom not only is that the best tack that I have found so far but it’s one that’s used every single day. I only hope I can find more especially ones that are easy because being disabled I have limited capacity and capabilities as well as Time to not be chronic fatigued within my limited abilities that some thing simple for others causes me extreme pain that has no treatment or cure so things that are easy and simple for me to do and basic I really look for and appreciate those who have shared these especially for somebody like myself which I know there are thousands out there like me i’m not the only one so I know they appreciate it as well wish more people would share their hacks and tips and tricks especially along those lines because it makes our lives easier when trying to do the same things as capable people for my community of type of people being disabled it really is a life changer well for some it’s just an easy way to clean not discounting either side it just means life is a lot simpler and easier to be able to do these things which I hope creators keep in mind how much more content they can create based on that idea even if it’s not told to be directed at this community of people it’s content that’s absolutely wanted and highly likely majority of the non-disabled people that would be seeing it would find it equally as useful.
    I know creators and influencers get mocked and do not always get the credit that’s due but from a disabled person I greatly appreciate you creating content Especially that to make lives easier.

    The best toilet bowl cleaner is made by Fluidmaster Flush -N- Sparkle, it injects directly to into the bowl as it fills. Do not put anything into your tank aa it will deteriorate the rubber gaskets. You can buy 1" chlorine tabs cut the cartridge at the top to refill them for cheaper, if not replace the refill cartridge every 2 - 3 months when empty. They have a blue version of the cartridge if you want to see when it's time without opening the tank. Haven't had to clean my toilet since using it.

Just take your empty swiffer bottle and drill a hole in the top, big enough for a small funnel, fill it up with fabuloso and put a cork in the hole when you’re done. Swiffer peeps won’t like that hack 😂
