Cleaning your grey water tank is essential if you are traveling by motorhome this summer.

While Ambiti Tank Fresh is a great ally for keeping your tank in good shape during your road trips, any sanitation system also requires a periodic deep clean to completely eliminate the stubborn buildup that accumulates from ongoing use.

Grey water—which comes from the kitchen sink, shower, and bathroom washbasin—carries away soap, grease, food scraps, and hair. Over time, these residues stick to the tank walls, forming a slimy film that becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and foul odors.

What Happens If You Skip Deep Maintenance?

• Persistent foul odors that seep right into the living area.
• Slower drainage or potential clogs in the pipes.
• Increased wear and tear on the plumbing system and its valves.

Because of this, we recommend performing a deep clean at least once a year, especially after periods of heavy use, as typically happens during the summer months.

Thorough Cleaning with Ambiti Tank Cleaner

Ambiti Tank Cleaner is a biological cleaner formulated to effectively lift and eliminate encrusted residue without damaging the plumbing system or its materials.

How to Use It

1. Fill the tank up to 75% capacity with lukewarm water.
2. Add the recommended dosage of the product.
3. Drive the vehicle for 20–30 minutes (the sloshing helps scrub the walls).
4. Leave it to sit for a minimum of 8 hours.
5. Empty the tank at an authorized disposal point and rinse thoroughly.

Since it is completely biodegradable, it is an environmentally friendly choice that is safe for all types of mobile installations.

For Routine Maintenance: Ambiti Tank Fresh 5L

If what you need is a product for daily or weekly upkeep, Ambiti Tank Fresh is the perfect match. It prevents bad odors from forming in the first place and keeps the system in excellent condition between deep cleans.

How to Use It

• Add 50 ml for every 25 liters of tank capacity.
• Pour it directly down the drain.
• Repeat as needed.

And for those looking for an even more practical solution, we have paired our two most popular products into a single format: Ambiti Tank Fresh 5L and Ambiti WC Blue 5L are now available together in a saver pack.
