Can Kleenex tissues be flushed down the toilet?

Asked 2 years ago
Kleenex tissues are not designed to be flushed down the toilet. While they may break down more easily than some other paper products, they do not disintegrate as quickly as toilet paper, which can lead to plumbing issues. Flushing tissues can cause clogs in pipes and sewers, creating potential problems for both individual households and wastewater treatment facilities. It is recommended that instead of flushing Kleenex tissues, they be disposed of in a waste bin to avoid any possible plumbing complications. For additional information about product usage and disposal recommendations, it is advisable to refer to the packaging or visit the official website, where detailed guidelines may be available.
