It's important to be mindful of what you flush down the toilet to avoid clogs, backups, and other plumbing issues. Here are some things you should never flush down the toilet:
DO NOT FLUSH Wipes: Even if they are labeled as "flushable," wipes can still cause clogs.
DO NOT FLUSH Feminine hygiene products: Tampons, pads, and other feminine hygiene products should never be flushed down the toilet.
DO NOT FLUSH Dental floss: Dental floss is not biodegradable and can get tangled in your pipes, causing clogs.
DO NOT FLUSH Cotton balls and swabs: These items do not break down easily and can cause blockages.
DO NOT FLUSH Medications: Flushing medications down the toilet can harm the environment and contaminate the water supply.
DO NOT FLUSH Paper towels and tissues: While toilet paper is designed to break down easily in water, paper towels and tissues are not and can cause clogs.
DO NOT FLUSH Grease and oils: Like with drains, cooking oils, fats, and grease should never be poured down the toilet as they can solidify and cause clogs in your pipes.
