Drain Cleaners Are Safe On Your Pipes
FALSE – Drain cleaners that you can buy at your grocery store or hardware store are not safe for your pipes. They can contain chemicals that can erode your pipes over time.

It Is Ok To Flush Your Goldfish
FALSE – It is ok to flush a dead goldfish but it is surprising how many people flush a live goldfish once it is no longer wanted. When you flush little Nemo down thinking you are sending him to a better place, you are wrong. The live fish will travel down through the sewer system and eventually end up in a stream, if it survives.
Once it has reached a stream or river, the ecosystem will now have an alien invader that could disrupt the system.
Animals Can’t Get Into Your Home Via Your Toilet
FALSE – If you believe your toilet is safe from intrusion by animals, you have not been on the internet in years. Rats, mice and snakes have been known to appear in toilets.
This is a good reason to check your bowl before you take a seat!
