Zapple here with your renter tip of the day 😁
Flushable wipes? Are they REALLY flushable?
Experts say so, and we concur.
Do Not Flush Wipes!!!
Just because an item is marketed as “flushable” does not mean it should be flushed down the toilet.
Wipes do not break down like toilet paper does in the sewer pipes. Instead, they hold their shape and can cause dangerous blockages and sanitary sewer overflows, which can affect the sewer system and increase maintenance costs.
The only non-natural item that should be flushed down the toilet is toilet paper, which is formulated to break down appropriately. Remember to dispose of trash correctly. Place your trashcan close to the toilet for easy disposal of items such as wipes, dental floss and hair. Trash should never go down the toilet.
