As published by The Spruce in “8 Things Your Plumber Wants You to Stop Flushing Right Now—or Risk a Clogged Toilet,” Lee Wallender shares what professional plumbers most often pull out of blocked drains, and why “it went down” does not mean it will keep moving through your plumbing.

Plumbers quoted in the piece reinforce one simple rule: stick to human waste and toilet paper, and put everything else in the trash, even if the packaging says “flushable.”
