01
Why the pipe objects
A measured squirt diluted in wash water is the product’s intended use; dumping a bottle is a concentrated chemical disposal event.
02
Do this instead
Use only what you need for washing and donate or follow local guidance for an unwanted bulk container.
03
Already did it?
Normal use needs no rescue. If you poured out a bulk container, do not mix in another cleaner; follow the label and contact your wastewater authority if needed.
