Don’t Flush These Items Down Your Toilet
Having a toilet is very convenient if you need to go to the bathroom or if you’re not feeling well. However this convenience doesn’t extend to the realm of garbage disposal. You should only use your toilet as a garbage can if you enjoy plunging it every day. If you don’t then avoid flushing the following:
- Paper towels
- Tissue paper
- Tampons
- Sanitary napkins
- Dental floss
- Cotton swabs
- Cotton balls
- Baby wipes
- Nails
- Hair
- Old mail
- Kitty litter
- Garbage of any sort
As you can see, you simply can not put garbage in your toilet without running the risk of clogging your toilet and causing your toilet overflow. We suggest putting a garbage can in your bathroom so you have somewhere to dispose of the above items.
Prevention Is Key
One way to prevent clogs is to flush a cup of vinegar and a cup of white vinegar down your toilet once a month. This will help keep your pipe clear and only takes a minute of your time. Allow the mixture to sit in your toilet a few minutes to dissolve, then simply flush your toilet.
