Yeast is an awesome natural solution, but don’t use it more than once a month. Yeast can make your septic tank frothy if you use too much, which could cause it to back up.
Use 3 to 4 rotten tomatoes at a time.
You can also use salt, lemons, and olive oil to naturally clean your home.
Not sure if your toilet paper is toilet-friendly? Place a square of toilet paper in a jar full of water, then shake the jar up. If the toilet paper breaks down into small bits, then it’s good for your system. If not, it’s time to find a new brand.
Even most “flushable” wipes aren’t made to go into a septic tank system. When in doubt, throw it out.
Most septic tank systems need to be emptied every 3 to 5 years.
