@jfdrainage: Why wipes cause Blocked Drains ⁉️ They don't break down: Unlike toilet paper, most wipes contain plastic or other strong fibers that do not disintegrate in water 🧻 They accumulate: Over time, flushed wipes can get snagged on other debris in pipes, causing blockages to form in your home or further down the sewer line. 🚽 They contribute to "fatbergs": The accumulation of wipes combined with fats, oils, grease, and other non-flushable items can create large, solid masses that cause major sewer blockages. 🪠 "Flushable" wipes are misleading: Many products labeled "flushable" still contain non-biodegradable materials and do not break down properly. Only products with a specific "Fine to Flush" mark are certified to be safe for flushing, and even then, it's best to err on the side of caution by binning them. ❌ How to prevent drain blockages ⁉️ Bin the wipe: The simplest and most effective solution is to throw all wipes (baby, cleaning, makeup, etc.) in the trash. 🗑️ Don't flush other items: Avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper and human waste, including sanitary products, cotton swabs, and paper towels. 🩸 Properly dispose of fats, oils, and grease: Pour cooking grease and oils into the trash or a container for disposal, rather than down the sink. 🧑‍🍳
