Clean lavatories are very important for maintaining good hygiene. When they are not maintained properly, they tend to cause a lot of discomfort especially by producing unpleasant smells. It gets even more annoying when one is in a surrounding that they cannot go far away to avoid the bad smell. For example in a boat, in the middle of a large water body. Such individuals should learn how to remove marine toilet odor.

There are individuals who find this task very difficult with a lot of dedication needed not knowing that it only takes discipline and focus in ensuring constant cleaning. Simple things like flashing the toilet after using it and avoiding messing up the sides of its seat should always be kept in mind. This is are vital things that help prevent stinking.

Among many other reasons, discharge hose is a reason for marine toilets having unpleasant smells. When they become permeable, they allow bad air to escape from those effluents trapped for long inside the pipes. So as to know whether this is the issue at hand, one is required to pass a clean cloth-piece on the outer wall of the hose and sniff. Immediate exchange with impermeable ones should be done if the problem needs to be fixed.

Leakages around the system is also a reason. To detect the leaks one uses the same method as rubbing a dry rug around fittings, valves and sealed loops. If the cloth turns dump and has odor, there is obviously leakage. Proper tightening of valves and fittings and sealing of ventilated loops is then recommended. One can also lose them all as they trap effluents.

Marine life and grass that usually get trapped under the bowl and the passage where flush water comes out, also bring odor. One can stop this by fixing a strainer along the intake line. Regular cleaning of this area using scented bleaches or vinegar also helps as it prevents the accumulation of marine life, and leaves your toilet with a pleasant smell.

Scale deposits caused by the salty water accumulate in the discharge way. Flashing of the toilet then becomes almost impossible. Water in discharge pipes find their way in the bowl, and this becomes a reason for odor. One is therefore advised to apply potions of vinegar on a regular basis to get rid of salt deposits and make the water fresh.

One can also use an acidic flush to remove the odor coming from the lavatory head. A mild mixture of muriatic acid and water will most definitely do the trick. Follow the instructions as directed in the acid bottle when mixing, then pump the solution slowly into the head hose allowing for the dissolving of thick residues.

Situations may arise where one does everything to stop their marine toilets from stinking but to no success. This acts as a very good reason for having a full over haul of an entire toilet system. The individual has an option of looking for a good plumber to hire or follow available guidelines to doing the job by themselves, as the process is quite simple.
