The Ultimate ‘Do Not Flush’ List

Actually it's quite simple according to an expert at Popular Mechanics. When it comes to what to flush down your toilet -- always follow the four Ps.

To keep our Minnesota waste water clean, healthy, and flowing -- nothing should go down the toilet except for poop, pee, puke and (toilet) paper. 😮

That means all of the rest of these items are off limits:

• Dental floss
• Feminine products
• Any wipes (even of they say FLUSH-ABLE)
• Kleenex
• Diapers
• Cotton swaps (Q-tips)
• Human hair
• Paper towels
• Facial pads/Makeup removers
• Cigarettes
• Cotton balls
• Kitty litter
• Oil, grease, or food
• Prescription & non prescription drugs

Again, remember the four Ps. (And one of them is not Pete!) Poop, pee, puke and (toilet) paper. Anything else should be off limits.

You're welcome.
