01
Why the pipe objects
Normal rinsing during a shower is intended household use, while disposing of full bottles creates unnecessary concentrated waste.
02
Do this instead
Use or donate unwanted product and keep hair out of the drain with a screen.
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.
