Cleaning Tips and Tricks: Disposable Cleaning Wipes

Want to know why it is important not to flush disposable cleaning wipes? Ask the Cleaning Proz! Everyone loves the convenience of cleaning their home with disposable cleaning wipes, but sometimes people do not realize the damage they can cause. Even though some wipes say “flushable” it does not mean they actual are designed to flush well.
            Check out more on why it is vital not to flush disposable wipes from the article “Don’t Flush Those Wipes” by the Cleaning Proz:
            Disposable wipes make everyday house cleaning a breeze. And of course they’re indispensable for baby bottoms! But please don’t flush them down the toilet– even if they are labeled “flushable.” The label simply means they will go down your toilet when flushed. What you need to be concerned about is what happens next. Unlike toilet paper, wipes do not disintegrate in water. They stay pretty much intact as they travel through the sewer pipes and can get caught on roots or other debris, increasing the likelihood of a clog. So, throw away any cleaning/disinfecting wipes, moist towelettes, personal hygiene products, etc., in the trash, never in your toilet.  Clogged sewer lines are ugly and expensive to fix. Trashing disposable wipes is such an easy way to prevent trouble.
Learning about this topic is great cleaning tips and tricks brought to you by the Cleaning Proz.
