So-called “flushable” products may confuse people into thinking all cloths, disposable or not, are “flushable.” There are no truly “flushable” washcloths.

“ Dispersible ” products “Dispersible” means product dissolves and becomes part of water flow. Toilet paper is dispersible. Sage Products’ Comfort® Personal Cleansing products are not “flushable” or “dispersible.” Brown S, To flush or not to flush; disposable vs. basin bath?, Healthcare Purchasing News, Sept 2004.
