01
Why the pipe objects
Lint is a dense mat of fibers that can catch inside a drain and may include persistent synthetic microfibers.
02
Do this instead
Empty lint screens into the trash and use a washer filter or laundry bag when appropriate.
03
Already did it?
Do not flush again to test your luck. If the bowl rises, drains slowly or gurgles, stop using the toilet and call a plumber before it overflows.
