Toilet Flush Sign ... What do you have?

[Elizabeth516]

I've just spent 1.5 hours trying to snake the drain and having to pay /way/ too much for a plumber to clear the main drain line because a guest flushed a "funshable" or bably wipe ...

Now that it's done, I'm buying a power snake & putting up a sign, but I'm not sure what have the sign say.

Do you have a sign telling guests what is acceptable to flush? If so, what does it say?

I'm debating between something quirky like "Don't believe the hype ... there's no such thing as a flushable wipe!"

... or something funny like a sign with "Please Don't Flush", followed by a list of things including wipes, tampons, napkins, hopes & dreams, etc. 

... or something a little bland, like "Dear Guests, Help us avoid plumbing backups. Please dispose of napkins, tampons, baby wipes, and any other wipe in the trash. Thank you."

Thoughts?

Hello @Elizabeth516 ,

Maybe a sticker will do the job, i got one from the waste water treatment company, including a leaflet.

Google words "sticker toilet not to flush" (results are also a source of inspiration for a home made text)

BTW Maybe a lot of hosts want this sticker too: https://www.sittopee.info/index.php?ID=35

Or a recent sign seen:

Gentlemen ... A Polite request

To remember to sit down to relieve

As

I am too old to be on my hands and knees
to clean up mis-directed pee

So contemplate the universe and the meaning to achieve,
Give your feet a rest and sit to relieve

I have been looking at some of those ... that's where I got the first two ideas I'm thinking about! One thing I do want my sign to be clear about is wipes. This is the second time I've pulled a wipe out of the drain line.

I'm also just curious what other hosts are doing/using 🙂

My house info regarding toilet states "#1 #2 & TP only". Think I will make a cute sign and hang it over the toilet. I paid $150.00 last summer to unclog. This year I will get my own toilet snake. Plumber suggests sticking to 1-ply TP, explaining that in cast iron pipes (which I have) TP is more likely to stick and wad up. Hate 1-ply TP! Besides cast iron pipes I have a septic system to protect.

I like it! One thing I do want my sign to be clear about is baby & 'flushable' wipes, but it's a great sign

Perfect!

Still needs flushable wipes put in. I just spent $625 on septic cleaning because of them.

I have signs:

Roses are Red

Violets are Blue

Please only flush: pee, paper & poo.

..but in Dominican Republic, paper is not flushable either. Going to use this but cut off the bit about toilet paper.

Hello Branka,

I really like your drawing. It is very informative and attractive. Could you send it in a bit higher resolution/size format, please? Let me know if any loyalty fee or price is applied.
