cleaning products and the septic tank
Does anyone have some *valid* information on what cleaning products, from laundry detergent to toilet cleaners, are relatively innocuous when it comes to killing off the bugs (i.e. the 'worker bees') in the septic tank?
Now, I'm a bit sceptical: I read a report a few years ago that products with the word 'eco' in the name or a dolphin on the label are often no more environmentally friendly than the products from Persil or Proctor & Gamble. It's often just a marketing ploy.
So I'm looking for some genuine information, which is NOT easy to find.
We had a bit of a problem with our biocycle septic system that was discovered at the last maintenance - now, I actually have a suspicion that this was due to our chlorinating our water tanks with a goodly dose of bleach last summer - the water got a bit pongy and was way too warm - rather than the products we use which have otherwise which have not given trouble for years and years. BUT - if I can get some good information, all the better in my opinion, the septic tank maintenance man thought we should look into that.
