    I use a cheap laundry capsules from Lidle. Over time it seems to work. The same goes for the toilet.

    I use a laundry capsule with some bleach and leave it for a few hours.

    Cheap bleach or a solution of Milton and water and leave for overnight.

    I think that most of the "dirt" inside waste water containers will probably be found to be tea and coffee staining.  I thought I'd try what I do to clean the inside of my teapot and put a large dose of a bio wash powder with a load of hot water and leave
    it for several hours.  Empty and rinse and it looks just like new.  I think the point is the "bio"  bit.  It certainly cleans the crusted on gunge inside my tea and coffee pots perfectly and leaves my wastehog spotless.

    baby sterilising fluid so you not get taste of any chemicals in your water

    Every couple of months I fill our wastemaster with water and add some bleach and leave it for a couple of days before emptying it. This works for us

    It is difficult to look inside.  Just don't!

    Just wondering why it needs to be so clean on the inside?

    When packing it away I just tighten up all the caps, making sure all the smells, (if there are any - I always run the aqua roll dry on the last day, therefore the waste master gets a good swill with mostly clean water), are locked away inside the wastemaster.

    If the outside has got dirty I just give it a quick swill before putting it in its' storage bag.

    I wonder if bio-tabs would work.  Some folk reckon they are a good idea for the caravan loo (instead of 'blue' liquid).  If they work for the loo, why not the wastemaster??  Just a thought.

    I dissolve the bio pod in warm water and pour it down one of the sinks or shower so it cleans the pipework on its way to the wastemaster

    I use Mr Muscle drain cleaner in the kitchen sink and bathroom basin. Not only does it keep the convoluted drain pipes clean in the caravan but it also has the side effect of cleaning the inside of the wastemaster.

    Vinegar. Pour in, screw top back on. Agitate so it goes all over. Lay flat in caravan. Drive home. The humps, bumps, potholes and pathetic state of UK roads will keep it agitating all the way home, or to next site. On arrival, empty, rinse, ready for use!
    Cheap and not much effort required. Vinegar sorts out most things.

    White vinegar diluted and left overnight, it descales as well especially if the water is warmed up first. I also do my cassette with it.

    I agree with just put the caps on after rinsing out. Basically all you are going to do is put more dirty water in it so as long as it does not smell it is not a problem.

    Ditch the Wastemaster and use a bucket. When it's full, sling it over the hedge. Advice applies to CLs only, not Club sites!

    Would a litre of white vinegar topped up with water do the trick?

    Mind, why would you need to clean this?  Its never crossed my mind.  Its gets soapy water in it mostly, which is, I'd expect, a decent way to clean it.

    cheap cola - I use 4 bottles which are about 25p each, slosh it in, let it soak, turn it over, slosh it a bit more, soak it a bit more then rinse it out. Only do it once a year though.  Do the caravan drains in the same way - plug, fill up with cola, soak
    then drain

    I prop mine up base facing the sun, cap off, between our trips away.

    The sun dries out the gunge to a flaking film that rinses away when the waste container is next put to use.

    If  you  really  must  clean  it  but  you  find  a  few  stains  remain  you  could  try  the  old  florists  trick.  Take  the  cleaning  fluid  of  your  choice  &  put  it  into  your  wastemaster or  whatever,  then  add  some  glass  marbles  { the  kids  toy  variety }  seal  the  container  and  get  some  exercise  by  picking  it  up,  and  giving  it  a  darned  good  shaking  for  a  while  ==  If  that  does  not  clean  it,  then  its  never  going  to  get  better  !!
