A full house over the Christmas period can put extra stress on your homes plumbing.

You don't want to have to call in a plumber to clear out a 'rag monster'.

‘Rag Monsters’ are made up of wet wipes, nappies, cloth, tampons, sanitary and incontinence pads, hair and other non-biodegradable material.

These items have no place in the wastewater system and should never be flushed down the toilet.

Give your loo the ultimate gift today by only flushing the 3Ps down the toilet: Pee, Poo and [toilet] Paper.

Happy Christmas!
