Can Kleenex tissues be flushed down the toilet?

Asked a year ago
No, Kleenex tissues should not be flushed down the toilet. Kleenex tissues are designed with a higher absorbency level than toilet paper, and they may not break down easily in water. Flushing them can lead to clogged pipes and sewer system issues. To ensure proper disposal, it is recommended to dispose of used Kleenex tissues in a wastebasket or trash bin. This will help maintain optimal plumbing functionality and prevent potential costly plumbing problems. Remember to follow local waste management guidelines for the proper disposal of tissues and other personal hygiene products.
