Do not add a defoamer or spot remover. For bad stains, apply QB paste full strength or spray heavy solution on stains and let sit for a few minutes allowing QB to go deep down into the stain.

HOLDING TANKS: Dump your holding tanks using lots of water to flush your tanks. Close the valves. Pour one half of a gallon of QB heavy solution into the toilet bowl. Swish around with a toilet brush to deodorize the bowl. Then release the cleaner into the holding tank. Run a little more water into the tank. Add some of the solution to the gray water tank also. Be sure to put QB in before traveling, so that the cleaner can slosh around in the tanks while driving. Remember, it is important to keep the valves closed even though you are connected to a sewer drop. Waste in the tanks need liquid to keep the solids from getting dried out and hard. It will drain out of your holding tank more easily and completely if you dump when the tanks are nearly full.
