01
Why the pipe objects
The plastic handle cannot break down and the short floss strand can still catch on other material.
02
Do this instead
Place floss picks in the trash; use a reusable handle if you want to reduce waste.
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.
