There’s no such thing as truly flushable wipes. They’re the bane of plumbers everywhere… Actually more the bane of people having to pay the plumber bill at some stage. A quick google will confirm this.
Think of it… To be flushable they need to disintegrate in water. But they’re wet wipes so they are always wet… Yet they’re not disintegrating. Wipes which disintegrate in water is just toilet paper.
Do you reach down and dip the toilet paper into the water to get it wet?
God no! lmao that’s almost as bad as that podcast guy that admitted he’d catch his own poop and gently drop it in the toilet so it doesn’t splash.
You can get plumbing-safe wet wipes (baby wipes, basically). They work perfectly well.
That’s usually a lie. But as long as it’s a rent house, it’s fine.
Oh yeah, definitely this. If it doesn’t break down in water, it won’t break down in the pipes.
they also cause millions of dollars in damages by clogging large scale sewer lines
What the actual fuck
