First, let me get this out there: I love COMMANDO Black Tank Cleaner pods!
So, many of you have already heard me talk about some of the little hints I have used to keep my RV smelling fresh. There is something wonderful about walking into a fresh smelling RV. Being with PPL all these years in the consignment RV business, you can only imagine some of the odors that have hit me in the face. It seems the most common mistake made by RV owners is simply NOT draining the tanks when they come home from a trip. That simple step makes a huge difference in whether or not you even want to walk into your RV a month later, much less want to pack it up and hit the road.
When we travel, I have found a really easy and economical trick that really does help keep my RV fresh between uses. When we are getting ready to leave the campsite, we empty all of the tanks (in the proper order of black tanks to fresh water tanks.) Then, after I close off the valves, I add about 4 gallons of fresh water to the toilet before I shut off the water. Then I drop one of the Holding tank chemical pods into the toilet. You would think that I would stop right there, but I learned a great trick from a fellow RVer years ago. I pour a whole bag of crushed ice into the toilet making sure it all gets down into the tank. While we are driving home, the ice sloshes around and helps clean the walls of the holding tank. This has worked well for us for years, but now I have added something even better to my TO DO list when I leave the campground.
I just learned about the COMMANDO Black Tank Cleaner pods. I was a bit skeptical at first, but they really do work. Now about once every 3-4 months, I add one COMMANDO pouch to the tank. The super concentrated enzyme formula helps to remove waste and paper from the walls of the tank and will help to restore the sensor function. In fact, they claim that this product will clean the entire tank in 12-24 hours. That could actually save an RVer hundreds of dollars in tank cleaning services.
RVers share so many helpful hints and ideas with me so I felt like I should share this one with you. Please let me know if this product is really as great as I think it is. And, send me your thoughts and hints so I can share them with other RVers.
