When you hear the term flushable wipes, you might think they are just like regular wet wipesβbut with one key difference: they are designed to be safely flushed down the toilet. Unlike traditional wipes, which can clog pipes and cause sewer blockages, flushable wipes are made with special biodegradable materials that break down more easily in water.
πΉ What Are Flushable Wipes Made Of?
To make flushable wipes safe for plumbing systems, manufacturers use special raw materials:
- Wood pulp or plant-based fibers π± β Natural materials that can disperse quickly in water.
- Biodegradable binders β To hold the fibers together without making them too strong.
- Pure water or mild cleaning solution π§ β For moisture and gentle cleaning.
- Optional additives β Such as aloe vera, chamomile, or light fragrance for comfort.
Unlike traditional wet wipes, they do not use synthetic fibers like polyester, which take years to decompose.
