Remember our Wet Wipe Challenge in Reading? As you can see, wet wipes are not meant to go down the loo. Every hour we clear five blockages from our sewer network caused by wipes, while in an average year we clear around 85,000 blockages caused by wipes and cooking fat at a cost of around £12 million.
Blockages also build up in the pipes inside properties leaving you to shoulder the costs of removal and clean-ups. When it comes to flushing always remember the three Ps – poo, pee and paper.
Here are some top alternatives to wet wipes

Bin it. Don’t block it.
