What Not To Flush Down Your Toilet

As you may have noticed recently, toilet paper shortages are being reported in many parts of the country. This causes people to resort to alternatives, which can clog plumbing and septic systems.

We understand the importance of having working plumbing at home, especially during these challenging times. Here is our top list of items you shouldn’t be flushing down your toilet if toilet paper is scarce.

• Flushable” wipes (Trust us, they’re not flushable.)
• Paper towels
• Facial tissue
• Napkins
• Feminine hygiene products
• Cloth products
• Cotton balls and swabs

A good rule of thumb is to only flush human waste and actual toilet paper down your toilet. Your plumbing and septic systems will last longer, and you’ll prevent a potential backup from occurring.
