Today, times are changing - and not only are there are a plethora of biodegradable, eco-friendly wet wipes on the market now, but you can also find wipes that are totally safe to flush down the loo and won't risk causing any nasty fatbergs in our sewage system.

Wet wipes have many uses, from wiping away baby mess to cleaning a child's sticky fingers.

They're also great for beauty needs, like removing eye makeup, and they can clean up household stains or get rid of dust - they can even freshen you up after a music festival, or on the go.

How can you tell if a wet wipe is really safe to flush, though? Look out for symbol on the packaging. These wipes have all passed stringent Water UK testing ensuring that they won't contribute to the fatberg epidemic when flushed.
