•“Flushable wipes” is an oxymoron. •Debate over flushable wipes’ flushability — or lack thereof — centers on how well they break down upon being saturated with water relative to, say, toilet paper, which disintegrates quickly. •Wipes might make it down the drain, but get caught in bends in pipes deeper into your plumbing. •They also accumulate into hulking masses of fetid filth — called FATBERGS ... google it — causing larger problems for sewer infrastructure. •Flushable wipes marketers insist otherwise (because of course they do?), but plumbers say don’t do it — who ya gonna listen to? •Rule of thumb: If it ain’t T.P., pee-pee or doo-doo … doo not flush it!@Matt Schmitz (Just keepin' it 💯, fam.) #flushablewipes #toilet #plumbing #homeowner #fyp
