CLEANING INSIDE MY COMPOSTING TOILET: How To Clean A Composting Toilet

[@TinyDreamer]

Is there an easier way to clean the inside of that blue pipe? Hmmmm....

[@ZeoCyberG]

You can do some preventive maintenance by just having a spray bottle of half and half water and vinegar on hand to spritz after each use and maybe occasionally pour some down the urine track to flush it... Should make cleaning it a lot easier...

[@TinyDreamer]

@@ZeoCyberG Thats an idea! Thank you! I have not thought of this before but I will give it a try! 😃

[@carolinelabrunye8558]

You can also remove the 2 yellow plastic screws were the blue part is and you will see there is quite a bit to clean^^. Also that blue round thing at the bottom of your toilet, I remove it every month to clean underneath, urine.. dead flies that get stuck in there... :) Just thought I would mention but you might already know that!

[@TinyDreamer]

@@carolinelabrunye8558 Omg, no I did NOT know that!! Thank you so much for that! I see dead bugs at the bottom where I sprinkle DE but I didnt think to look underneath. Didnt even know about the yellow plastic screws! :O Thanks again!!

[@heathershores9131]

Thank you so much for showing how to do this! I am going to go clean a friend's cabin and had no idea what to do!

[@TinyDreamer]

You're very welcome! I love that you're friend has a compost toilet. You got this!! 💪🥰

I have always wondered how about the toilet bowl cleaning! This was so helpful. Thx

Thank you for such a detailed demonstration.

You're welcome! :)

[@62WILDCAT]

I'm considering a composting toilet & am very grateful that you've demonstrated how to properly thoroughly clean one. Still like this choice for my bodily waste. Saves water !

[@TinyDreamer]

Awesome!! And It's my pleasure! People need to know so they know what they're getting themselves into. I am glad I got this one! It's been great 😊

Thanks for sharing this video, this has been very helpful, as we are planning to install a compost toilet in the house we bought in Sweden. ☺️

[@TinyDreamer]

You're welcome! That is so awesome you're getting one!!...i'm glad this video helped!! Its a wonderful toilet! 😍

[@editanovotna5392]

I have a question regarding using the toilet paper. I assume you need to keep the seating down by one hand in order to throw the paper down the whole, or?

[@TinyDreamer]

Yes correct! When you're sitting on the toilet, the pressure of the seat down is what opens the back. So if you're still sitting down, you'd want to lean to the side, pressure still on the seat, to throw in the toilet paper. If you choose to stand up and then throw it in there, pressure on the seat would have to be pressed down for the back to open up again.

[@Drewlivie]

Very helpful!! Thank you for sharing.

[@TinyDreamer]

My pleasure! I'm so glad you found it helpful. I have another composting toilet video coming in a few weeks bit it's on a slightly different topic! Stay tuned 😊

[@leannemarieevmed.theorigin8414]

Where do you dump all the waste when full? I didn't think RV parks allowed composte toilet dumping.

[@TinyDreamer]

The campground has a place for me to put it. We just dont talk about it, really.

[@rmoore9118]

Thank you!

[@TinyDreamer]

Sure thing!! Hope it helps! 😊

[@DeborahLong7777]

I love all your video's, I don't have a composting toilet . I see why 😂

[@TinyDreamer]

Thank you Debbe! Ahahahahaha! Omg, that made me laugh out loud! A bunch of other people I know say the same thing. Lol.

[@ZeoCyberG]

Well, cleaning any toilet can be a choir... kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZquQf4eOmLiIiNk And it can be far worse with all the things that can go wrong with a flush toilet... There's pros and cons to everything but people tend to only look at the pros for what they're used to and only the cons for anything they're not used to...

[@TinyDreamer]

@@ZeoCyberG Very true!

[@TheRifleman336]

Whisper must be your "dog" stand-in the little thief....LOL!!! Sadly Chole', the Mini Yorkie we lost in September was our little sneak thief...She was so comical when she did it. :'(

[@TinyDreamer]

Ahahaha! Yes, she totally is! She is so quiet and soft and sweet but then ruthless at the same time. I'm sorry to hear about your dog :(

[@carolmadge4012]

Have you tried using gloves while cleaning. Can you use a longer funnel and wider, remove that plastic thing and extend it all the way down would that help. Thank you😃

[@TinyDreamer]

No I'm not worried about wearing gloves while cleaning. If others lived in the house I would but I wash my hands right after anyway. It's only urine. People drink their urine in cases of emergency I'm okay with a little on my hands 😊💙 I can use a longer funnel, I just have to find one. If you know of where I can get one please let me know. Silicone would be best, no? I just found these at the store in the kitchen section but I'm sure a car section might have the longer funnel? Hmmm...it seems really easy to store this little one inside the toilet also! Thanks for your ideas!!

[@batemon85]

I care for a woman with a spinal cord injury. When I get her urine on me, it doesn't bug me. Urine is sterile (& in fact, urine was a huge component of soap making historically!)

[@Avocadomushroom]

Wow that’s a lot lol why haven’t they come up with something better 🤔 I’m debating on getting one of these. After this I’m not so sure anymore 😂

[@TinyDreamer]

I would honestly say this one would be the easiest... at least between this one and natures head when it comes to cleaning it. The natures head you basically have to carry outside and dump the contents in a bag, a garden, etc..clean the whole thing out, reassemble and carry back into the house. I kind of feel like cleaning this one is similar to a regular toilet where you just wipe it down. 2 different ways of cleaning but personally I prefer this way because I can't lift a big ol toilet of waste. Lol. I'm sure other compost toilet options have their own pros and cons, too.

[@Avocadomushroom]

@@TinyDreamer thanks for the feedback

[@Avocadomushroom]

@@TinyDreamer what’s your toilet called?

[@TinyDreamer]

@@Avocadomushroom Separett...but I forget the numbers behind it

[@TinyDreamer]

@@Avocadomushroom You're welcome! :)

[@Metaphysics-for-life]

I clean homes .. you think this was gross?? LOLOL ! You ain't seen nothin' :-D HINT : if you lift the lid and wipe everything down once a week with your disinfecting wipes you won't get the buildup

[@TinyDreamer]

Thanks! I've started doing this as well as a weekly build up rinse down the urine spout and all other drains in the house.

[@abundantlyclear]

I want to know about the poo part.

[@TinyDreamer]

You can watch more about how to clean the "poo part" in my video Compost Toilets 101. Plus, I have another video coming out that touches more on the "poo part"... 😉

[@abundantlyclear]

@@TinyDreamer Before I have ITH build my home, could you tell me why you are not talking to them?

[@TinyDreamer]

Ith made over 85 mistakes on my build. 2 years after having the house I'm still finding mistakes. Warped doors, cracks, holes, nails sticking out, uneven trim, missing screws, broken window latches, loose seals, dust sealed onto to surfaces because the dust was never wiped away.i have the whole list of you are interested but I wont share it here. You can find me on social media and message me and I can send the list. Although I really do not recommend I th to anyone anymore I realize that people still enjoy their esthetically pleasing houses and their affordable priced houses. One of the reasons why I will not recommend them as because my exact model of my house at $58,300, 2 years later, has gone up to $68,000. That's insane for my house. Everyone already thinks I paid too much for my house from them. They claim they are the most affordable tiny house builder but I highly disagree. Mini mansions tiny home builders has them beat. Core housing solutions has them beat. If I get another tiny house to rent out it will probably be from mini mansions. The amount of stuff "included" in their builds is amazing. You get a tv, refrigerator, daybed with memory foam mattress, bookcase, electric cooktop burner, microwave, mini split, toilet, shower curtain and liner, and more for the same price as ITH house without all that stuff! I had to buy all that extra at ITH. I'm jennifer fuist if you want to find me on fb and I'll send the list. I think I've had about 10 different people that want houses from incredible tiny homes message me for that list so they know what to watch out for because they were getting their house built by them too. Be well and good luck to you if you choose them.

[@TinyDreamer]

Definitely! Lol..I also started feeding them less. I finally brought their toys over from the tiny house and bought an extra laser light for them to chase.

[@NoName-pu5ls]

Can I use Clorox?

[@TinyDreamer]

I'm honestly not sure. You can use it to clean with but as far as putting it down the urine spout to clean that, Idk. I guess it would depend ion where the urine is running...if it were running off into the grass I'd think probably not because clorox is toxic and could kill things in the ground. If it's running into a tank and gets dumped into a sewer system or septic tank them probably? Seeing that all that water gets filtered and used again in a bigger process through the system. I honestly don't know though..I stick to water and white vinegar. That is what was suggested to me.

[@JuliaClark]

This seems so complicated. Why would I choose a composting toilet?

[@TinyDreamer]

Because they save on water! They give you garden dirt! You dont have to deal with black water sewage! :)

[@bartholden1504]

Do you clean immediately if you freckle neck the toilet?

What about poop? do you not poop in this toilet?

[@TinyDreamer]

Of course I poop in the toilet..lol..this video is not about emptying the waste. This video touches on cleaning the inside of the toilet. Check out my composting toilet 101 video. That video explains what to do with the waste. 🙂

[@koolyokam007]

ONLY Monthly cleaning?!

[@TinyDreamer]

Monthly cleaning INSIDE the toilet. The surface areas are immediate inside are cleaned weekly and the urine part of the toilet is rinsed/flushed daily after each use.

[@breatharian2009]

After seeing this chore, I might just stick with a conventional toilet.

[@TinyDreamer]

I'll agree, a conventional toilet is much easier to clean. I just recently switched out my compost toilet for a flush toilet temporarily because I'm going to rent out my tiny house airbnb. When I move back in I'll switch it back.

I'm fine with just a flush toilet that's way too much for me

Yea, it's not for everyone. I actually switched out this compost toilet for the time being, because i'm renting the tiny house out on airbnb, and I can't imagine that all of the guests would approve of it. Lol

[@NekoJesusPie]

This is unrelated, but you’re so beautiful :)

[@TinyDreamer]

Thank you 🙂

[@COO415]

I would say, if I have a composting toilet like that. It would be a minimum of weekly thorough cleaning. Pls have gloves for your cleaning next time. Thx for the informative nooks & crannies of this system.

[@TinyDreamer]

No problem...Thanks for the tips! I recently switched my compost toilet out for a regular toilet because I'll be renting it out for a while. Now I'll be cleaning it daily. When I move back in I have the option to switch it back and would most likely clean it weekly.
