All those in love of plush wet wipes for…urm…extra cleanliness during bathroom time may have to let the love go. At least, that’s the threat coming from various sources including water companies, environmental charities, and other companies who insist that the packaging is very misleading. The flushable wipes may get flushed for good.

Key Takeaways:

• Parents, environmental groups and water companies have gone to war against the makers of so called “flushable” wet wipes, which are clogging up the nation’s toilets, drains and sewers.
• As a result, they have had their garden flooded with sewage and, in worst case scenarios, their homes flooded.
• These wipes are marketed as flushable but often we find they simply don’t break down and cause blockages.

“The complaint, which comes after the Government confirmed plans to ban microbeads in cosmetic goods, is being led by Wessex Water and backed by City to Sea, Surfers Against Sewage, Marine Conservation Society and Litter Free Coast and Sea.”
