Warning

Please be mindful some "flushable" wipes have proven not to be flushable and are harmful to the environment.

Education

A Consumer NZ online article 7 Oct 2015 says: "The label claims they’re “flushable” but our test of 11 flushable wipes found these products don’t break down readily and could end up causing a plumbing headache. They’re also leading to costly problems at wastewater treatment plants ..."

A later article by Consumer NZ dated 13 April 2018 confirms: "... The only type of wipe you should be flushing is regular toilet paper."
