🚽💥 Just because it says it’s flushable doesn’t mean it should be flushed. “Flushable” wipes don’t break down like toilet paper — they clog pipes, damage equipment, and can cost thousands to repair. In fact, wipes are responsible for an estimated $440 million in damage to U.S. ...sewer systems each year. 😬
✅ Only flush the 3 P’s: Pee, Poop, and (toilet) Paper. Everything else? Trash it! Let’s keep things flowing, Lawrence. 💧
