What You Should Never Flush Down the Toilet (Seriously)
Quick quiz:
What’s flushable, biodegradable, and safe for your plumbing?
If you answered “flushable wipes,” we’ve got bad news for you.
🚫 Here’s a list of the top things you should never flush (but people still do):
1. Flushable Wipes
Yep, even the ones that say flushable. They don’t break down like toilet paper and are one of the biggest culprits in pipe clogs.
2. Paper Towels & Tissues
These are made to absorb, not dissolve. Stick to toilet paper only.
3. Feminine Hygiene Products
They expand in water, don’t break down, and cause major blockages. Always trash, never flush.
4. Q-tips, Cotton Balls, or Dental Floss
Tiny but mighty when it comes to forming massive clogs.
5. Grease, Oils, and Food
Believe it or not, some people dump bacon grease in the toilet. It cools, solidifies, and clogs like concrete.
