Does Bamboo Toilet Paper Block Drains?
Bamboo Toilet Paper
Bamboo toilet paper was created as an eco-friendly alternative to the traditional tissue-based toilet paper we are accustomed to.
While bamboo toilet paper follows a very similar manufacturing process to regular toilet paper, bamboo-based products are considered to have more benefits not only for the environment but also for the user.
What Are the Benefits?
Soft Texture
Bamboo offers a touch of softness on the skin that traditional toilet paper does not. This soft texture is why we are increasingly seeing bamboo also make its way into bed sheets, clothing, and home decor items.
Environmentally Friendly
Unlike trees, bamboo is a highly renewable resource that can grow up to one metre per day. It is easy to maintain the bamboo population and avoid overconsumption due to its efficient growth cycle and lower water requirement.
During its growth period, bamboo does not need to be sprayed with fertilizer or pesticides. Even after the bamboo has been cut and is in the manufacturing process there is no need for bleaching or additional chemicals as bamboo naturally holds strength and softness unlike regular toilet paper.
More Likely to Break Down With Water
While all toilet paper will eventually break down, bamboo toilet paper will break down significantly faster than normal toilet paper. Plus, it will naturally decompose and eventually leave no trace of existence on the planet, let alone your pipes.
So, does bamboo toilet paper block toilets? The answer is almost always no. Bamboo toilet paper should cause far fewer drain blockages than regular toilet paper.
Is Bamboo Toilet Paper Safe?
Although bamboo toilet paper breaks down easier than regular toilet paper, as with anything it can cause damages when used improperly.
You should never try to dispose of toilet paper of any kind in a sink, as the pipes are much narrower. If kept to where it is intended to be used, however, bamboo toilet paper is perfectly safe.

TESTIMONIALS
we are very happy with a job well done by Nick! With a fixed price, i knew exactly what it was going to cost me before he arrived. He assessed the problem quickly then dropped a camera in the drain and explained everything to us as he worked! We could see with our own eyes that the drains were free of roots and squeeky clean by the time he had finished! Thank you Nick for a job well done!

Wouldn't call anyone else! Spoke with Jim on the phone, he was easy to talk to, honest and knew what he was talking about. Nick was here on time and did his work with pride and care. He explained everything as the work was done and had my problem solved in no time at all. He was even able to check out some other issues and help to fix them as well. I have no doubt that if any problems came up during the work, Drainpro would have the tools and experience to get the job done right the first time for a fair price!
Great company, Great people & Great service!

I highly recommend Drainpro. A week ago Jim from Drainpro attended to my drain blockage issue. He took the time to diagnose the problem (due to tree roots), fixed the problem and gave me great advice on how to manage my drains instead of lining it or digging it out and replacing which are very time consuming, costly and not to mention not suitable recommendation for my drains which are still in a reasonably good condition. He took the time also to call and logged a job with my water authority to ensure that they come out to also clear the council drain of roots which is the main cause of the blockage. All this done at a very reasonable price. I have used other plumbers before but Jim from Drainpro is by far the best I have encountered. Jim is very passionate about his work, he is prompt, professional and friendly. I will definitely use him again for my drains issue in the future. Keep up the good work!

Discussed problem with Jim on phone. Very rapid service. The blocked drain proved to be quite difficult. Nick was more than equal to the task and remained cheerful throughout. The result is excellent. I can happily recommend Drain Pro.

Nick performed an excellent job on our blocked sewer line. He was very friendly and courteous! The flat rate may seem pricey compared to other plumbers, but after seeing Nick at work and how thorough he was I think it was a fair price. Traddies like Nick are very rare these days! Thank you!
