People commonly ask whether Poo Pourri is safe for plumbing , toilets, and septic systems. The question is valid, given that it's a deodorant whose chemical composition isn't widely known. Given all the awful and harsh chemicals that people flush down their plumbing pipes, Poo Pourri is a much safer option.
Poo Pourri contains natural essential oils that create a film when you spray the product in the toilet bowl. The film makes a protective barrier on the water's surface, keeping the foul smell trapped underneath. It leaves a pleasant aroma in the air around you. So the answer to whether Poo Pourri is safe is yes.
More importantly, the product is safe for the environment. The ingredients eliminate bathroom odor without harming the environment.
The primary essential oils in the product are lemongrass, bergamot, and orange. Some manufacturers blend peppermint, lemongrass, orange, and lavender. It isn't complete without other ingredients like fragrances and water.
Other components are Litsea Cubeba oil, Citrus Grandi's peel oil, Cineole Limonene, and Citrus chemicals.
The product is non-toxic, hence safe to breathe and flush. The ingredients come from the environment and undergo testing in several labs and septic systems by the manufacturer before reaching the market. The peer-reviewed testing and verification system established that Poo Pourri doesn't harm your plumbing system.
Poo Pourri contains no chemical components and doesn't create a hazardous residue. It would be best if you also used it in small doses so that it doesn't threaten the environment concerning its volumetric quantity.
Online reviews don't reveal any negative feedback about the product indicating that it can harm the plumbing or sewage system. Its pH value is about 7.4, nearly that of the human skin. The pH level is less likely to cause an acidic reaction in the plumbing system.
In addition to Poo Pourri, you may have wondered how other products used in the toilet bowl affect the plumbing system. Here's a mention of a few of them and the effect they have:
Other harmful products for the plumbing system are bleach, fish, food, cooking grease, gum, hair, and cigarette butts.
You want your plumbing to remain functional without breakages or blockages for the longest time possible. Check that you only use the recommended products and don't flush down things that pose a danger.
