01
Why the pipe objects
Floss does not readily break down. It can catch on rough surfaces and tangle with wipes, hair and grease.
02
Do this instead
Wrap it in a bit of tissue and put it in the trash.
03
Already did it?
A short piece is unlikely to cause an immediate emergency. Do not make it a habit, and watch for new slow drainage.
