How long does it take for disposable wipes to dissolve

Disposable wipes, including those labeled as “flushable,” do not dissolve quickly. Unlike toilet paper, which is designed to break down rapidly in water, disposable wipes are made from synthetic fibers that can take a long time to break down. In many cases, they may not fully decompose for years, potentially causing significant issues in sewage systems and the environment. This is why it’s generally recommended to dispose of wipes in the trash rather than flushing them down the toilet.
