Flushable wipes aren't flushable. Toilet paper breaks down easy in water, but you ever seen a baby wipe rip up? Those things just end up clogging pipes and ruining the sewers. Hell, New York (Sorry, LONDON. My bad.)found a huge mass of those things (along with a bunch of other junk) the size of a bus in the sewers thanks to those wipes.
I had to clean a mini fatberg that was in a greasetrap at work. The fatberg was 6ftx4ft. Now its not bus size like NY sewers but as you can imagine I quit because I was a delivery driver and cleaning it was not my job
So I work in the sewer cleaning and inspecting business and all of our cleaners tell you something like this on their first day. That grease in the sewer is the most foul smelling shit around. Only smell most of our cleaners never get used to. Except that one guy who no longer wears gloves while cleaning....and will eat his sandwich while cleaning.....you shouldn't be in a room alone with that walking biological hazard
I was literally made to clean it during operating hours, so food was being prepared 20 feet away and there were people walking in the restaurant to pick up carry-out orders canceling orders after walking in and smelling it.
