12 Things You Should Never Flush Down the Toilet
What shouldn't you throw in a toilet? đ˝ Plumbers discover plastic bottles, bricks, and even clothes there. Of course, you and I wonât try to flush down such things down the toilet. But who would have thought that even the most harmless things like dental floss or toilet paper can end up clogging a pipe?
The information on the pack saying that toilet paper is safe to flush down the toilet is, most of the time, just a marketing ploy. In fact, such paper takes several hours to dissolve, which is more than enough time to form a clog.
There is a simple way to find out if toilet paper will dissolve. Put pieces of toilet paper into a glass of cold water. If you still see big pieces 5â10 minutes later, it means that you canât throw this toilet paper into the toilet. But if the pieces are almost impossible to notice, it means that you can believe the manufacturer.
