One of the most serious and expensive situations that can harm our community has to do with what we throw into the toilet. Gesdenia alerts us that flushing personal hygiene products down the toilet can affect wastewater treatment systems.

Wet wipes have become popular until becoming almost the replacement of toilet paper, and next, the are pulling the toilet, a serious mistake that the only thing that brings us is that the cotton with which they are made not disintegrate and become all together in a mass of stone textile, causing jams and damage.

This is the case in some communities than last year 2.4000 threw tons of sanitary napkins, estimating the cost at one million euros. This cost, divided by the population, is increasing 7 or 8 euros cleaning costs and maintenance communities. And according to data from the Spanish Association of Water Supply, this encarecería between 8 and 14 percent activities to alleviate traffic jams.

Impurities in the water sanitation Gesdenia

GGesdenia states the importance of not using the toilet as a trash can to throw: condoms, tampons, sticks, makeup removers, dental floss, food scraps, chewing gum, various wrappings and, of course, hygienic wipes. The easiest advice to apply is to put a garbage bin next to the toilet, this way we will avoid more than one problem.
