The only things that should be flushed down your toilet are excreta (your pee and poo) and toilet paper. Your toilet is not a trash can Even the items that say they are flushable, like wipes and feminine hygiene products, should not be flushed on your toilet. They do not break down completely, unlike toilet paper which breaks down rapidly and completely. When products fail to disintegrate the debris can get caught up in the pipes then collect and ball up causing them to create major clogging issue. This is not just happening at houses. They are seeing this further down the pipelines creating major clogging issues throughout cities and even an accumulation of wipes in the pumps at the sanitation departments. Here is a list of items we do not recommend flushing down your toilet:
- Feminine Products
- Flushable Wipes
- Baby Wipes
- Cleaning Wipes
- Cotton Balls
- Q-Tips
- Dental Floss
- Paper Towels
- Plastic Baggies
