How
you can know?
What you want in toilet
paper, at
least as far as your sewer goes, is that
once it is flushed down, it breaks apart! This becomes even more
important if you have a water saver or low flow toilet.
So to test your paper place a handful in the toilet or a
bowl of water and stir it up very rapidly! It should break up into
small pieces. If it does not, get rid of it! Or, you and I
will become better friends than you would like

Is hit & miss
No matter what you use, you should test it every 6 months or so to make
sure it has not changed the way it is being made.
I have spoke with Charmin's head scientist and
explained what I am finding. He told me about their poly fiber
content & break down ratio. I told him to put some in water
and stir it up. Guess my way is too simple!

FLUSHABLE?
I really doubt it! Flushable is the new marketing catch
term. They claim KITTY LITTER, WET WIPES & TAMPONS are all
flushable. Test it to see, but more times than not, it will not
be. Just because it goes down, does not mean it will go away!
WE'RE
HERE!!
The Sampson plungers are in! Now we are the only place in town you
can get them. Cause all plungers are Not! Created equal. If
it is not a Sampson, it is a aeorbic tool that will help you break a
sweat and give you a blister, but thats it! Every house needs a
good plunger!
GARBAGE
DISPOSAL
OR
GARBAGE CAN
What is a garbage disposal for? Besides keeping me employed, not
much! If yo must use one though, then there are things you can do
so we don't become too good of friends.
First thing is that less is always better. Use
lots of water. Stay away from anything leafy or stringy.
Only fill your disposal up to a 1/3 of capacity then run water for about
10 sec, even after you turn off your disposal. Big trouble things
are POTATO PEELS, PASTA, & RICE.

WATER
SAVER TOILETS
GIVING YOU TROUBLE
Water savers are plain trouble for many reasons. Most important is
that 1.6 gallons is just enough to make the toilet flush, but enough to
carry anything to the street! Cheats. yes, some water saver
can be cheated to use more water. If it has a weighted flapper,
replace it with a non-weighted. You can add a piece of tubbing to
the over flow tube to raise the water level in the tank. These
cheats may cause your toilet to double flush, but it is volume that your
sewer needs.
