I'm afraid I take the easy, more expensive option.  We now use the blue powder sachets to avoid the mess.  They are more expensive, but they are also lighter.  I'll all for an easy life..  😉

Bio capsules are the way to go and the ones from Lidle work fine. We have been using them for several years now. We also use fabric softener in the flush water tank. We get no smells from our setup now and the stink of the "Blue" has finally gone but it took quite a long time. The bathroom now smells like the airing cupboard laughing

For the benefit of those worried about septic tanks and bio sachets: When we lived in Plymouth we had a septic tank, not mains sewerage. We used bio washing sachets in our washing machine all of the time with no adverse effects at all. I wouldn't worry about it.

For  the  Pernickety { of which I am one  tongue-out } you can get tubs of capsules, very like the Lidl / Aldi bio pods, but sold in caravan / motorhome shops. These contain the blue or green fluids but in "Non-messy"  capsules so no more stained fingers or footwear wink

....... I think I may have used them at some stage, but for some reason, I've usually gone for the 'teabag' type.  There was a reason at the time, but I can't for the life of think what it was.. !!  laughinglaughing

Attn  DSB,  Brue  et  al laughing,

A Quote from Carradale A.S. {  in Kintyre, Scotland }  Leaflet { from a couple of years ago}

Toilet Chemical Fluids

For the Septic Tank to work efficiently and not pollute the Soakaway ONLY biological fluids such as Fenwicks Top and Tail or Biomagic can be used. Fluids used must NOT contain Formaldehyde.  If you have any doubt about your fluids DO NOT USE THEM until you have spoken to the Proprietor.

We have Fenwicks Top and Tail available 2.5 litres for £10.99

 

That's their view anyway

We have been using the bio pods with no problems. Not come across any site restrictions, but will keep a look out.

The Lidl & Aldi pods "are" bio, so no problem. Assuming that is that you buy the correct ones. The green box in Lidl's.

It’s the Lidl ones for me - Formil in the GREEN box as Cyber says. We have used them for several years and they work extremely well. Apart from somehow keeping whiffs at bay, they also break down the solids very efficiently making the emptying of the cassette the easiest I have known. Gone are the days I do the ‘shake and vac’ dance in trying to conquer that Clingon! 🤣🤣. The flush tank is perfumed with their fabric conditioner and all is peace!
