Dispose of these items in the trash can if you don't want to clean up the blockage later.
1. Paper towels
Paper towels are much thicker than toilet paper and more difficult to dissolve in water. The risk of clogging is especially great if you wash off a lot of crumpled leaves at once.
2. Adhesive plaster
One small patch seems harmless, but it isn't. It does not dissolve in water and can cause blockages.
3. Hair from a comb
While scrubbing the comb, some people flush their hair down the toilet over and over again. And in vain, because matted hair will adhere to the rest of the objects thoughtlessly thrown there, and then the blockage cannot be avoided.
4. Pet litter
Clumping, silica gel, and absorbent - no filler should be thrown down the toilet. Its particles swell and can stick together into a lump that gets stuck in the pipe.
5. Feminine personal care products
Pads and tampons are designed to absorb. Used hygiene items trapped in the liquid will swell, increase in size and interfere with the flow of water.
6. Diapers
It's the same story with diapers, only they are initially even larger.
7. Cotton pads
Cotton pads, although small, can also absorb water. Therefore, it is better to throw them in the trash can.
8. Cotton buds
They do not dissolve in water. But they can accumulate and get stuck in the pipe.
9. Condoms
The contraceptive will also not dissolve in the toilet. The condom will remain in the pipes and can seriously interfere with the water's path if it gets caught on something.
10. Food
In addition to the fact that some foods or dishes leave streaks and dirt on the toilet, they are one of the causes of blockages. Especially swollen leaves of tea leaves, rice, and pasta.
11. Small rubbish
Small pieces of paper, sticker labels, dust, and small stones that appeared during the repair should go to the trash can if you don't want to call the plumber.
12. Cigarettes
The cigarette butts will not dissolve in water, so the contents of the ashtray must be taken to the trash heap.
13. Nylon tights and stockings
If, for some reason, you suddenly want to throw your torn stocking down the toilet, stop. He, too, can interfere with the passage of water.
