Switching your bathroom routine, shouldn’t mean a call to the plumber
Today’s discussion of “Avoiding the Clog” is sponsored by GP. GP sent a tpPlus product for review. All opinions and experiences are my own.
Customizing your cleaning routine? Avoid the plumber
I have this “friend”, let’s call her Krista…
Krista’s pipes got clogged and the water backed up into her house. When she showered, the water backed up from the main, all the way into the house…so the water going down the drain from the shower? It was backing up into her kitchen, like literally bubbling up into her kitchen sink. It filled the sink, then ran over the counters, and into the cabinets…Lovely.
When the plumber finished cleaning the pipes, he gave Krista the insight of her life! He told her the new cleansing wipes that people have incorporated into their bathroom routines, in order to feel clean and fresh, are the worst thing plumbers now encounter when it comes to sewage systems. The plumber told her:
The cleansing wipes break up but they don’t “dissolve,” so as they run through the pipes, they get caught on everything in the pipes, especially tree roots. And they get caught, and then more get caught, and so on, until finally it’s a blockage. These wipes are marketed as being “flushable” which they ARE…but they’re horrible for your system. Flushable just means you can flush them. It doesn’t mean anything else. Shoot, you can practically flush a diaper. Doesn’t mean you should.
Cleanse without the Clog
The makers of Quilted Northern®, a brand I have always trusted, have introduced a new product, tp+™ Cleansing Foam with aloe that gives you a confident clean without the clog. You just apply 1-2 pumps of the foaming cleanser right to toilet paper before use. The BEST PART? It’s flushable (because it’s just cleansing foam on regular toilet paper) and septic safe for standard septic systems!
When you as a baby boomer, want to feel completely clean you will find tp+™ Cleansing Foam with aloe to be the perfect choice. tp+ Cleansing foam ingredients are effective AND gentle. Just 1-2 pumps does the trick and you can expect 100 uses from each 1.5oz bottle. The size is so convenient you can use it at home or on the go!
My friend Krista sure wishes she would have known about tp+™ Cleansing Foam with aloe. I can tell you that it provides all the benefits of cleansing wipes including cleanliness, freshness, and convenience without the horror of clogged pipes.

Those sound great. I like the size of them too, they are small enough to keep in my diaper bag for on the go.
Maria says
Wow! What will they think of next? I have never heard of this product before, but will check it out.
Lena says
That is pretty cool. I sure can use one of these once in a while. And I can probably use it for the kids, especially during winter months?
Jennifer says
This is a great idea. Now we can stay fresh as a daisy without worrying out a wipe-induced clog. Thanks for sharing this!
Dawn says
I love this! I’m all about the wipes, but not about the possible clogging. This is the answer! Thanks.
Lisa says
This looks pretty awesome. Using less TP while simultaneously being even more fresh is a win.
Tonya says
I had never heard of this before. Sounds like a really great product though.
Lisa Bristol says
This would be a great product for when you are on the go. I will have to pick some up to try.
