    I think the only way to ban flushing them is to ban selling them

    PSA for anyone who doesnt know: there is no such thing as a flushable wipe. “Flushable” is a marketing lie. Dont flush any wipes!

      This is correct. We had issues and 700 bucks later the plumber removed the soft clog. We stopped flushing wipes and never had another issue.

      Edit spelling

      If you do anyway you are personally responsible for the creation of another Fatberg!

    In a perfect world the board of directors would be forced to be out there cleaning up. But still nice to see that hopefully a corporation is held responsible. Good job Spain!

    Just wanna throw it out there that Bidets are super cheap, wildly effective, and quick to install on any toilet.

    You also don’t need warm water, as your bunghole is actually surprisingly insensitive to temperature!

    What’s the definition of “wet wipe” here? I did not see one in the article.
