Cleansing and Maintenance
A quick spray of water and white vinegar or a natural cleaner from the squirt bottle (Bunnings has these) is all that is needed to keep your unit fresh between uses. If necessary, a moistened paper towel (no synthetics) is excellent for cleansing the interior (as well as the exterior) of the head. For more intensive cleansing or dried-on matter, a paper towel moistened with a 1:1 solution of vinegar and water may be used, and disposed of, in the same manner, after cleaning. Bleach, ammonia, and other commercial cleaning compounds should never be added to your waterless toilet as they will interfere with the composting process and may lead to unpleasant odors. These cleaners maybe used to clean the exterior surfaces. Maintenance requirements for the toilet are very minimal. All metal parts (bolts, hinges, latches, knobs, agitator, and trapdoor components) are either stainless steel or brass. Filters on each side of the base should be removed and cleaned yearly or when emptying the solid wastes. Each filter is secured to the housing with 2 Phillips-head bolts. Remove the bolts, clean and replace. Caution should be taken so that the fan is reinstalled with the airflow exiting the unit. The full-size molded-in seat of the head is designed for safety and comfort and requires no special care.
