flushable baby wipes are good shower replacements

Liquid plumber dissolves those wipes. Take it from one that knows.

It's the WSSC (Md and DC utility) complaining in the article. Why is it usually WSSC and Pepco with the problems?

4 times a week I have to unclog a customers main drain from it getting clogged up with personal wipes and mainly Disinfection (Clorox wipes and Lysol) wipes. The latter 2 don't dissolve.

I keep a small pack at work to ensure that I feel fresh after a bowel movement. They say they're not flushable, but it's not my toilet, so...

Those commercial drains and higher water pressure can probably handle them better.

That's true to a point but the brown tunnel of fudge, you have to pamper it, be careful. Some of these wipes have chemicals, and being placed in the bowels, can lead to unintended results due to tissues in the region leading directly to the bloodstream.

This must be Bezos pushing the paper to get more current. The story of disposable wipes clogging sewers has been old news.

"Liquid plumber dissolves those wipes."

if they contain plastic. don't you think it's odd DRAINO is STORED IN PLASTIC ? no it won't take care of everyting

costs WSSC time and money and it's a crappy job when people put stuff in sewers that don't belong

ESPECIALLY fuel
