The Flushable Wipe Myth
In many workplaces and public restrooms, flushable wipes are provided as an alternative to disposing of used toilet paper in the bin. This is often done to minimize foul odors and maintain a hygienic environment. However, the truth is that no wipes are entirely flushable, despite claims that they have been “tested with plumbers.”
To raise awareness about this issue, one individual has taken to writing messages on the packaging of these wipes, urging people to reconsider flushing them. Office and facility managers must understand the potential risks of using flushable wipes and consider alternative solutions, such as installing bidets or implementing regular maintenance of the drainage systems, to prevent clogs and damage to the plumbing infrastructure.
