Great idea. Thanks!

I suggest you call your solid waste manager and ask them directly. Facilities vary a lot!

Thanks!

I don’t know what you mean by prepping wash cloths. You don’t need to do anything to them except wash them when they get dirty.

I know that washcloths will always be recommended, but I know you have to prep them at least once a week. I use wipes for every time my dog steps outside the house. Is there even a “pre-packaged” wipe that you would recommend?

I know the Honest Company has the new plant based line that still claims to be biodegradable. Is there something you can still recommend for someone who does not want to prep wash cloths every week.

Thanks for mentioning this. Yes, most wipes are not flushable; I believe some class action suits have been filed based on that greenwashing claim. Companies don’t need to claim benefits that don’t exist for their products! Most consumers care more about convenience than anything else, anyway. There’s no need to greenwash. Please pass the info about the law suit around. We’re hoping it gains some traction. Thanks again.

The other somewhat similar issue is that some wipes (both baby wipes and other wet wipes) claim themselves to be ‘flushable’, which leads to people throwing these used wipes into the toilet for disposal. After all, if it says ‘flushable’, it must be OK to throw in the toilet!

However the so-called ‘flushable’ wipes are NOT actually that – while they may successfully get all the way through the toilet down into the building drain, they are NOT like toilet paper, that immediately disintegrates. In fact, they are more likely to remain as one piece, clogging the drain somewhere under your house (after all, like the wipes you reviewed, ‘flushable’ wipes are not biodegradable either). Costco could be one of the most obvious offenders by offering their own Kirkland version of so-called ‘flushable wipes’.
