Many household cleaning products are labeled and marketed as “disposable” but should not be flushed down the toilet. These include:
- Moist wipes
- Disinfecting wipes
- Baby wipes
- Facial tissues
- Mop refills
- Paper towels
- Towelettes
These products don’t dissolve, which can clog pipes and cause expensive — and time consuming — repairs for homeowners. These products also clog public sewer pipes and pump station equipment, leading to sewer backups.
