A clogged sink is fairly easy to clear, but the same cannot be said for a toilet – in most cases you have to call a plumber.
This is one of the main reasons why you should only flush down the toilet what your municipal services allow.
Otherwise, you will have to deal with a rather unpleasant problem.
Let's figure out together what exactly things should not be sent down the toilet.
What things should not be thrown into the toilet and flushed
Here are some examples.
- Cotton pads and swabs. Cotton wool products should never be sent to the toilet, as they swell and clog the pipe.
- Wet wipes for children. They can also cause clogs.
- Pads and tampons. They absorb moisture too well.
- Diapers. They will instantly "clog" the pipe.
- Paper towels. Unlike toilet paper, they do not dissolve.
- Dental floss. It also does not dissolve in water.
Earlier we wrote an interesting article about why you can throw a bay leaf in the toilet.
