01

Why the pipe objects

Waxes and polymers are designed to leave a durable coating—the exact behavior unwanted inside a pipe.

02

Do this instead

Keep leftover product sealed and follow the label or local hazardous-waste guidance.

03

Already did it?

Do not mix in another product or attempt to neutralize it. Ventilate if the label directs, keep people and pets away, and call your local wastewater or hazardous-waste authority.
