Raritan Engineering Toilet Chemicals

Marine-Engineered Toilet Chemicals from Raritan Engineering

When it comes to keeping a boat's head clean and odor-free, not just any household cleaner will do. Raritan Engineering — a family-owned marine sanitation company with roots going back to 1958 — brings the same precision and ingenuity to its toilet chemicals as it does to every other product in its lineup. The result is a range of marine-specific formulas that work with your sanitation system rather than against it.

C.P. Cleans Potties: Bioactive Bowl Cleaning Reimagined

Raritan's flagship toilet chemical product is C.P. Cleans Potties, a bowl cleaner that takes a fundamentally different approach from conventional products. C.P. Cleans Potties is Raritan's eco-friendly bowl cleaner formulated specifically for marine environments — and unlike conventional toilet cleaners that contain bleach or caustic acids, it uses 100% biodegradable ingredients. Powered by a special strain of bioactive bacteria and 100% biodegradable cleaning agents, it cleans, deodorizes, and protects your marine toilet system — all without harsh chemicals.

One of the most common mistakes boaters make is using a strong chemical cleaner that inadvertently destroys the beneficial bacteria in their holding tank treatment. Raritan engineered C.P. specifically to avoid this problem. It is safe for every component in your head system and specially formulated to work in harmony with Raritan's K.O. Kills Odors, making it the only bowl cleaner that supports — not disrupts — your odor control regimen.

Compatibility Across All Marine Toilet Types

Whether your vessel uses a traditional manual head or a modern electric system, Raritan's toilet chemicals are built to perform. Ideal for manual, electric, and vacuum toilets, this cleaner is tough on stains and scale buildup, yet gentle on seals, gaskets, and hoses. That last point matters enormously on a boat, where replacing damaged soft components mid-season is neither easy nor cheap.

The bioactive formula also keeps working after the flush. It cleans deeply without scrubbing, destroys odors on contact — including raw water intake smells — and won't harm rubber parts such as seals, valves, and hoses.

A Brand Built Around Marine Sanitation Expertise

Since its foundation in 1958, Raritan has been a family-owned business, with its products made in-house in Millville, New Jersey. That heritage of hands-on manufacturing means every product — including its toilet chemicals — is developed with real-world boating conditions in mind. The Crown Head, the world's first macerating marine toilet, followed in 1966, and the first small on-board waste treatment system came in 1974 — a pursuit of innovation that has continued over the years with numerous patents and product improvements. It's this deep understanding of marine sanitation systems that makes Raritan's chemical lineup uniquely credible: these are formulas designed by the same engineers who build the toilets themselves.

For boaters who want a complete, integrated approach to head hygiene, pairing Raritan's C.P. Cleans Potties bowl cleaner with the K.O. Kills Odors holding tank treatment creates a system-wide defense against odors — from the bowl all the way through to the tank.
