Flushability Questions and Concerns

The flushability of Kimberly-Clark® products is tested in accordance with trade association guidelines. These guideline tests demonstrate that when used as directed, our wipes clear properly maintained toilets, drain lines, sewers and pumps, and are compatible with on-site septic and municipal treatment. Cottonelle® Flushable Wipes are flushable due to patented technology that allows them to lose strength and break up when moving through the system after flushing. Watch our video to learn more about the tests that Cottonelle® Flushable Wipes go through to ensure their flushability.
At Cottonelle®, we know that flushability is important, and continuously improving our products is, too. We’ve always had the most dispersible, best performing, flushable wipes. Only Kimberly-Clark Cottonelle® and Scott® Flushable Wipes have SafeFlush Technology®, which causes them to start to break down immediately after flushing.
Flushable Wipes are designed to safely break down in home septic systems and will not affect the normal bacterial activity in a septic system. Watch our video to learn more about the tests that Cottonelle® Flushable Wipes go through to ensure their flushability.
