Hi,
Some time ago I read a great tip on this site (One of many!!) about the use of vinegar to kill the smell of urine (#1, pee, whatever) . Because I am often camped near lakes, I added vinegar to a 5 gallon container and NO objectionable odor. 10 days later, I can open the container without worrying about the smell permeating my van. As a guy, I find it easy to make my contributions right into the container.

I have included a photo of the type of container I use. It's available from TAP Plastics, and many other retailers. It's stackable, and I also use them for drinking water. There's a screw-on lid for it, and also a spigot the screws into the lid.

My questions are:
1. Has anyone tried powdered (dehydrated) vinegar for the same purpose?
2. Has anyone added either form of vinegar to #2 containers?

Happy New Year to everyone. I wish you health, wealth, and happiness, and the time to enjoy them.

thanks for appreciating my link about Vinegar. However, today I discovered a problem you should know about.
 
I just use a small amount of anti bacterial dish soap in the portable toilet I use for pee. No smell! I am a setter, not a pointer.

And I thought setters were pointers. Oh wait, that’s dogs.
That’s a good tip Maki… to answer his question, I didn’t know vinegar came in a powdered form. I would think it would work very well.
