Is it safe and ok to flush down the toilet those moist wipes / moist towels ?


Question:

Answers:
If you have a sewer system - yes. If you have a septic system - no.


Even on a sewer system, if the packaging doesn't say "flushable" or something like it, bad idea.

Most wipes intended for kids' and adults' toilet use are flushable, of course. I understand that some baby wipes, cleaning wipes, and skin-care wipes are not.
it must say flushable on the package - otherwise you risk stopping up.
Only if the label indicates that they're flushable. I bought some for my baby, and I flushed them down the toilet. (flushables) I wouldn't flush the ones that are thick.
NOT RECOMMENDED!
yes
only if it says septic safe. otherwise they will not dissolve and you will have sewer problems
NO!
Even flushable wipes should not be flushed. Call your local plumber and they will tell you these things are causing back-ups after an extended period of time.
Read the label; most of them say DO NOT FLUSH!!
I don*t think they are biodegradable and will probably stop up the toilet.
