01

Why the pipe objects

Acetone and similar solvents are volatile, flammable chemicals that do not belong in drains or septic systems.

02

Do this instead

Keep remover in its labeled container and use a local hazardous-waste collection option.

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.
