1. Foreword: Many people flush cat litter into the toilet by mistake, which is likely to block the pipe and is difficult to rework and repair.
The most frequent daily operations of raising cats are shoveling excrement and treating waste sand. Many novice shovel officials can’t tell which cat litter is flushable and which one can never be flushed. There is a lot of confusion on the internet. Some people say that all of them can be flushed, while others say that all of them can’t be flushed, which leads to more and more confusion.
The consequences of wrong toilet flushing are very troublesome: pipeline siltation, chronic blockage, odor in the water, and even the need to dredge the master to repair. Especially for residential floors, old pipes and small apartment buildings, the fault tolerance rate is extremely low.
In fact, the four mainstream cat litter have a very clear dividing line: plants are degradable and minerals are non-degradable.
2. The core principle: Why can some cat litter be flushed and some can never be flushed?
2.1 The bottom logic of flushable cat litter: water soluble and degradable.
Cat litter that can be flushed into the toilet must meet two conditions: it dissolves quickly in water and can be naturally biodegradable. Cat litter based on plant starch fully meets this standard. After entering the sewer, it will gradually soften, disperse and dissolve, and will not form solid lumps.
2.2 The underlying logic of cat litter that cannot be flushed: insoluble, hardened and agglomerated when it meets water.
The characteristics of mineral sand are water absorption, solidification and hardening. Once it rushes into the pipeline, it will accumulate lumps at bends and traps, which will become harder and harder, forming a permanent blockage and unable to disperse naturally, which is the biggest hidden danger of the sewer pipeline.
3. Toilet washable cat litter: Specification for complete treatment of tofu cat litter
3.1 Tofu cat litter flushing rules and precautions
فضلات القطط التوفو takes plant fiber and starch as raw materials, and has strong water solubility. Regular products all support toilet flushing. Daily small pieces of urine and a small amount of feces can be directly washed with water, which is fast in dissolution and will not accumulate.
Taboo scene: the whole basin of old sand, a lot of broken powder, wet caked residual sand, it is not recommended to rush in a large amount at one time. Overrush at one time, the dissolution speed can’t keep up, and it is easy to accumulate for a short time.
3.2 Rules and advantages of toilet flushing with cassava cat litter
Cassava cat litter contains high starch purity and few impurities, so it is not recommended to flush the toilet. A small amount of cassava mixed with tofu cat litter can flush the toilet.
Small apartment, no balcony, inconvenient to take out the garbage, very suitable for cassava sand, more worry-free daily treatment.
3.3 Correct steps for general toilet flushing with plant sand
The first step: put a small amount at a time, don’t throw a lot of urine at a time.
Step 2: Flush first, then put down the sand ball to avoid getting stuck in the trap.
Step 3: Large lumps can be crushed and washed to accelerate dissolution.
4. Do not flush cat litter: bentonite and dust-free ore are absolutely prohibited.
4.1 Risk of toilet flushing with common bentonite cat litter
Bentonite will become a hard clay-like lump after absorbing water, which is dense, heavy and insoluble in water. After rushing into the toilet, it will directly sink to the bottom and get stuck in the bend of the pipeline, which will form a stubborn blockage over time.
In many families, the slow launching, slight odor and occasional water plugging are the root causes of a small amount of bentonite sand flushing for a long time.
4.2 Risk of toilet flushing with dust-free ore
Dust-free mineral sand belongs to purified mineral sand, which is more compact in texture, higher in density and stronger in solidification effect. Once caked with water, its hardness is greater than that of ordinary bentonite, and it is more difficult to dredge after blocking the pipeline.
Although the experience of dust-free mineral sand is better and cleaner, the taboo of flushing toilets is exactly the same as that of ordinary mineral sand, and you must never flush toilets.
5. Correct daily treatment and garbage sorting scheme for cat litter.
5.1 Tofu cat litter
Daily small amount of urine: toilet flushing water treatment.
Replace the old sand in the whole basin: put it into garbage bags and seal it, and treat it as dry garbage.
Advantages: flexible handling, friendly small apartment, less odor residue.
5.2 Bentonite, dust-free mineral sand and cassava cat litter
All wastesand, urine balls and residual sand are sealed and packaged, and dry garbage is uniformly discarded.
It is not recommended to pour into the sink, floor drain and toilet, and any drainage channel is not suitable for mineral sand.
6. Suggestions on sand selection for different apartment types.
Small apartment, no balcony, inconvenient to take out the garbage: tofu cat litter is preferred, which can flush the toilet more easily.
Self-built house, large apartment, ready to throw garbage: dust-free ore, bentonite, cassava cat litter are given priority, with better experience and lower loss.
Aging of old residential areas and pipelines: resolutely do not flush any mineral sand, but also flush a small amount of plant sand in several times.
