Flushable Wipes Clog Pipes!

There is no such thing as a flushable wipe – even the ones that say flushable. “Flushable” wipes cause serious damage to sewer systems and homes because they don’t break down or dissolve, clogging sewer pipes, damaging equipment, and causing expensive repairs for homeowners and our public sewer system.

Do not flush wipes! The only items that should be flushed down the toilet are toilet paper and human waste. Other items, like wipes, should be thrown in the trash.
