Hygiene
Boxio Portable Toilet
A separating portable toilet that keeps liquid and solid waste apart. Urine is the main source of the ammonia smell, so keeping it separate makes a big difference to odour compared with a single-bucket toilet. A practical choice for campervans and garden rooms, and for when the water's off.
Dry Flush Laveo Portable Toilet
A self-contained portable toilet that uses no water and no chemicals: each flush seals waste in a sealed film wrap, which keeps smells in. Each cartridge manages about 15 uses. It's a dignified solution if the water is off or the drains are blocked, and particularly useful for older or less mobile people.
Clinell Antimicrobial Hand Wipes
One hundred individually wrapped antimicrobial hand wipes. When running water isn't available, hand hygiene is what stops stomach bugs spreading through a household, and these make it easy. Individually wrapped means they stay moist for a long time in storage. Put a handful in every grab bag.
E Eaststorm Portable Camping Toilet
An affordable portable camping toilet with a 10-litre waste tank, a pump flush, and a carry handle. The flush feels familiar and helps contain smells. Use it with toilet chemical sachets, which are sold separately. A good entry-level backup for when the drains are out of action.
Palm Safe Coconut Alcohol Hand Sanitiser 500 ml Pump Bottle
A 500ml pump bottle of coconut-scented hand sanitiser, made with 70% alcohol, which the maker describes as gentle, fast-drying, and moisturising. When the water is off, it's the easiest way to keep hands clean before eating and after the toilet. One by the kitchen and one by the bathroom.
Trelino Evo M Composting Toilet
A compact composting toilet that separates liquid and solid waste, which keeps smells down without water or chemicals. Each container holds 10 litres; the maker estimates 18 to 22 uses for liquids and 11 to 20 for solids before emptying. A good fit for garden offices, allotments, and campervans, and a backup if the drains fail.
Handsafe - Sanitiser Gel 500ml - 2 x250ml Pump Bottles
Two 250ml pump bottles of unscented hand sanitiser gel containing 62% alcohol, which the maker says kills 99.99% of bacteria and viruses. Unscented suits people with sensitive skin or who dislike perfume. Keep one with the water supplies and one in the car.
Hemp Lavender: 5.6 L Odour Neutraliser
A 5.6-litre bag of lavender-scented hemp litter for camping and separating toilets. It absorbs moisture, neutralises odours, and is compostable. A scoop after each use keeps a portable toilet much more pleasant to live with. Also suitable for composting toilets at the allotment.
Zoflora Concentrated Disinfectant
Zoflora concentrated disinfectant, a British household favourite. A little goes a long way: the maker says one 500ml bottle, correctly diluted, makes over 60 litres of disinfectant. It kills bacteria and viruses on surfaces and leaves a pleasant scent, which makes a big difference when the bathroom is being used without running water.
Hpc Heavy Duty orange Clinical Waste Bags - 90 L -25KG 50 bags
Fifty heavy-duty 90-litre orange bags printed with clinical waste markings, each rated to 25kg. If you have to bag toilet waste while the water or drains are off, clearly marked bags help keep it separate from household rubbish. Check your council's advice on disposal at the time.
Alevmoom XXL Portable Toilet
A portable toilet with legs that adjust in height from about 10cm to 40cm, made from sturdy ABS plastic. The maker says it weighs about 1.8kg and holds up to around 270kg. Use it with waste bags or absorbent powder. Lightweight to store, and a practical backup if the toilets can't be flushed.

Fifteen extra-strong 133-micron rubble bags. Beyond their everyday uses in the garden and garage, they make a dependable liner for a temporary toilet if the drains stop working. Double-bag and seal with a cable tie. Simple, effective, and much better than having no plan.
Kable Kontrol Black Cable Ties
A pack of 100 strong UV-resistant cable ties, 300mm long. Useful for countless jobs around the house, they're also the best way to seal heavy-duty bags securely if you ever have to manage toilet waste while the drains are out of action. Cheap, tough, and good to have in the drawer.
Double Doodie Toilet Waste Bags (6-Pack)
Six double-layer toilet waste bags. The inner bag holds a gel that solidifies waste, and the outer bag zips shut with a carry handle. They fit most portable toilet buckets. Seal, lift, and set aside for disposal, with no splashes and no smell. A neat solution for the unpleasant side of a water outage.
Camping Shower with Heater, 6000mAh Rechargeable Camping Shower with 2000W Immersion Heater
A rechargeable shower pump with a 2,000W immersion heater rod for warming a bucket of water. The pump runs for 120 to 150 minutes per charge and charges by USB-C. The heater rod needs a substantial power supply, so check your power station's capacity before relying on it.
Camplux Portable Gas Water Heater with Pump
A portable gas water heater with a built-in pump that draws water from a bucket or container, heats it, and delivers it through a showerhead. No mains gas or electricity needed.

Wadeo Portable Camping Shower, [20L Collapsible Bucket] Rechargeable Battery Shower Pump
A rechargeable shower pump with a 20-litre collapsible bucket. The maker says one charge runs for 150 minutes, enough for three to six people to shower. It has no heater, so warm the water in a kettle first. A practical way to wash properly when the water supply is off.
Camplux 5 litres Gas Water Heater with Water Pump F5 Pro, Portable LPG Shower
A 10kW portable gas water heater delivering up to five litres of hot water a minute, weighing 4.9kg with a folding handle. It runs on gas and draws water with its pump, so a hot shower is possible when the boiler or mains is off. For outdoor use only; never use a gas water heater indoors.
Miaoke Portable Camping Shower, 7800mAh Outdoor Electric Shower Rechargeable Pump
A rechargeable shower pump with a 7,800mAh battery and a digital display, running for 120 to 160 minutes per charge, charged by USB-C. It has no heating function, so add hot water from the kettle. Pumps from any bucket or container, giving you a proper rinse rather than a cold sponge-down.
Towelogy Luxury Egyptian Cotton Face Cloth Flannel Fingertip Towels
Soft 100% cotton face cloths, 30 x 30cm each, which dry quickly. When showers aren't possible, a flannel and a bowl of warm water is the most effective way to stay clean, and it feels much more civilised than wipes. Washable and reusable, so they're kinder to the bins too.
No-Rinse Foaming Body Wash & Shampoo
A foaming body wash and shampoo that needs no water: apply to skin or a cloth, massage, and towel dry. The maker describes it as hospital quality. It's an excellent way to stay clean during a water outage, and invaluable for anyone who's bedbound or unable to shower.

Coin-sized compressed towels in individual wrappers: add water and each expands into a full-size cloth. They're lint-free, hygienic, and take up almost no space, which makes them perfect for grab bags and car kits. Single use, so ideal when washing isn't possible.
Oralieve Ultra Mild Toothpaste (1 x 75ml), SLS-Free Formula
A mild, SLS-free toothpaste that makes less foam and is made for dry or sore mouths. That makes it easier to use when rinsing water is limited. It's also kind to anyone undergoing medical treatment that affects the mouth. Always read the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.
King of Shaves Sensitive Shave Oil for Men
A 15ml concentrated shaving oil: a few drops are enough, so a small bottle lasts. It works on its own, under gel or foam, or before an electric razor. It needs very little water, which makes it useful when water is short. A small comfort that helps the morning routine feel normal.
SuperBee Dentos Toothpaste Tablets, 150 Tabs, Fluoride Free
One hundred and fifty fluoride-free toothpaste tablets in spearmint: chew into a paste, then brush. They're light, compact, and plastic-free. Useful in grab bags and for travel. Fluoride-free, so speak to your dentist if you're unsure which suits you.

Sani-Cloth AF3 Large Disinfectant Wipes
Extra-large alcohol-free disinfectant wipes, gentle on delicate materials. Larger wipes cover more area, so you use fewer. They're suitable for surfaces that alcohol might damage. A good addition to the cleaning cupboard for disinfecting when water is limited.
Dettol Antibacterial Cleansing Surface Wipes, Fragrance Free, 440 Wipes (110 x 4pck)
Four packs of fragrance-free Dettol antibacterial surface wipes, 440 in all. The maker says they disinfect most hard surfaces, including food preparation areas, baby equipment, taps, and handles. When the water is off and you can't clean in the usual way, they keep the kitchen and bathroom safe.
Bucket for flushing the toilet
This bucket is for flushing the toilet when the water's off. Pour a bucketful briskly into the bowl and it will flush without the cistern. Rainwater from a water butt or bath water works fine, so your drinking water lasts longer. It's a tough 14-litre plastic bucket with a galvanised metal handle and a pouring lip for a steady pour. A full bucket weighs about 14kg, so half-fill it if that's too heavy to lift comfortably. Once the water's back on, it earns its keep in the garden and around the house.
