Any non biological washing product is fine. I don't think any of the
dish washer tablets are a problem. Bleach is a no no, plenty of product
for cleaning the toilet that are safe. Also there is a product (can't
remember its name, we get ours from the local pumper out) it comes in
sachets, one of which you flush down a toilet every month. This feeds
the needed bacteria. We have been here for over 10 years and have had no
problems.
