Don't flush baby wipes

Do not flush baby wipes down your toilet. They do not degrade like toilet paper, and they can lead to clogged pipes. This includes wipes for toddlers to use when they are potty training. Many of these wipes claim to be flushable, but most of them do not actually degrade. If you want to know for sure, put a wipe in a bowl of water and see what happens. For comparison, put some toilet paper in a different bowl. Look at them an hour later and compare. If the wipe is still intact (the toilet paper won't be), you probably don't want this in your pipes since they will build up in pipe bends and lead to clogs.
