01
Why the pipe objects
Extracted water can carry fibers, pet waste, grease, stain treatments and concentrated cleaning chemicals.
02
Do this instead
Follow the machine and product instructions, strain solids and use the disposal location your local wastewater authority permits.
03
Already did it?
Never combine cleaning products. If a large amount was poured out, ventilate the area, follow the product label and contact Poison Control or your wastewater authority for guidance.
