They block up the pipes, which then need fixing immediately. When workers have to leave home to fix blocked pipes, they’re at risk of COVID-19. That puts everyone else in their bubble at risk as well.
Do your bit for workers and their whānau, and put your wet wipes in the bin.

With numerous gigs, concerts and festivals postponed or cancelled as a result of the level 4 response, we want you to dance the lockdown away with the new Neighbourly Spotify Playlist! Make your suggestions in the comments below - recommend anything you like on there, as well as tunes you think your Neighbours will enjoy. Chuck in some taste-breakers, one-hit wonders or some good old Kiwi classics - it really doesn’t matter. So if you’re running out of ideas on things to do, why not a dance party?
Just remember: keep it PG, refrain from putting any songs in the mix that may cause offence to your Neighbours. You can find the playlist here.
Happy raving NZ!
South Canterbury man Sam Pierce has found time during lockdown to get stuck into restoring his 1967 VW Beetle convertible.
A Timaru exporter has donated more than 10 tonnes of mānuka honey to charities across New Zealand.
The engine is in the spare room and the body of the 1967 Volkswagen Beetle convertible is in the sleepout as its South Canterbury owner gets stuck into his first ever restoration project during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Pareora-based pest controller Sam Pierce had only been in the job he loves for a month before lockdown and after running out of gib and plaster to upgrade the inside of the house, has turned all his attention towards the disassembled car.
The car restoring rookie has been learning as he goes through watching You Tube and asking others in Facebook car groups.
"It's fun. It's going to cost a fortune, more than if I bought it done."
He purchased the vehicle from his mother about a year ago. She warned him about the rust, but he was unperturbed.
Since then he has been stripping out the rust and replacing the panels when the mood took him.
One problem has been the body is welded to the chassis, instead of being bolted, making it difficult to access the undercarriage.
He has taken out the engine, rewired it and cleaned the fuel tank.
The hardest part of the project so far he said was knowing there were a million things to do and not knowing where to start.
There was no room in the sleepout for the engine so it's in the spare room.
But now he was stuck.
"There's no more I can do. I don't have the tools. I don't know what tools I need, I'll have to Google that too."
He reckons it will look good once its finished which he expects may take about five years.
"If there was no lock down it would still be sitting there."
A recent spectacular lightning storm that crossed South Canterbury apparently owed its purple-hue to rain scattering the light.
Get to know more about some of Canterbury's leading figures and how they're spending the four-week lockdown in the 15 Minutes With series. Today, hear from Troy Bilbrough, who started Christchurch's Bacon Bros food empire.
