I wrote to Downy at the contact email and just received this reply:"All of our laundry detergents have been thoroughly evaluated and are safe to use in homes with a properly functioning septic system. We know it's important for our consumers to be able to take care of their homes and the environment, too. For more information about cleaning products and septic systems, visit the American Cleaning Institute web site (search on "septic"). I hope this information helps."

The bottle does not state if it is spetic safe. Their number for questions is 1-800-688-soft (1-800-688-7638). It is HE compatible.

I don't really see why they wouldn't be, they completely dissolve in water.

We have a septic tank; have been using Unstoppables for about a year, and have had no problems to date.

Absolutely not septic safe! We almost lost our septic system to failure because of these tablets!

Yes it is it's like the Downey liquid but keep your clothes smelling fresher for longer

I can't find anything definitive that says either way. My recommendation would be to call directly and ask. Contact information is here: http://www.downy.com/en-US/contact.jspx

I am sorry, but as I am not on a septic system I cannot answer this. I would recommend you contact the manufacturer directly.

Any product that chemically removes rust will contain a strong acid which will kill the bacteria in your septic tank. The product called the works which I am familiar with contains 20% hydrochloric acid. Perhaps if it does not kill all of the bacteria you will not experience problems.

kaboom website does not address the question of whether kaboom liquid bowl blaster is safe for septic systems. suggest calling their 800 phone # for a live rep. response.

I have a septic tank and have been using Method cleaner. There has not been a problem.

Iam on a septic system and have not noticed any problems. My system was pumped out just a few months ago and the company said everything looked fine. I only use these 1 or 2 at a time in my automatic toilet cleaning system and they last for months so I'm not dumping a lot into the septic tank anyway. The container does not specifically mention septic systems as far as I can tell.

I have a septic system and green pig works great on it. I was having some overflow on my lines and it cleared that up. I also use a septic safe(northern) toilet paper. I had been using Rid-X, but now I am a green pig believer.J. KingJ. King

My septic guy said yes when I asked him. I've been using it for over a year and no problems!

It doesn't say anything about septic systems on the back. We have a septic tank and I have used this product for several years with no damage to our septic tank.

I didn't read if it was on the package, but I'm pretty sure it is because it has live enzymes like the stuff made for tanks.. I really hope it is though because we are on a septic tank ourselves :)

Michael: Per your question about what this will do to a septic system. Oh Yuk's dose is very well planned out with lab testing and field testing so the product is the correct strength. Not to strong, not to weak, so there shouldn't be much that gets into the septic system. Plus, if there is any active chemical remaining, the contaminants in the septic system would overwhelm and neutralize the chemical. With this said, this should not have any impact on the septic system.

I only put the cleaner in the toilet tank. In that way, I could observe the cleanliness of the tank. It is composed of magnets. It is chemical free. The septic system should not be affected. However, I am not a plumber.

I would think so, it just goes into your septic. Whatever you would normally flush would be good to go.

es, it is low-sudsing. We live on a ranch, with a septic system. It is safe for HE washers, hence it is low-sudsing. I have used this laundry detergent for 2-3 years now, and I am happy with it. My family has skin allergies, and this worls well for us.

My parents have used it for years & they have a septic tank system. We've been using it with our system also, we are very happy with this product. No pipe, drain field, or tank damage. We've had no down sides to this product

J. Kay - I don't have a septic system, but my parents do and they use these with no problems. I think the main feature is that the chunks of soap nuts don't go in the system, just the soapy water (like any other detergent stuff). I usually tie the drawstring on the little bag in a knot and since the soap nuts are generally whole from this company (only sliced open to get the seed out), not much (if anything) comes out during the wash. I'm no expert in septic systems, but I would think that, if anything, these would be better for a septic system than more caustic detergents (even the "natural" ones). If you don't have an official answer yet and are still curious, (or others who read this are) the company (NaturOli) has been really responsive to my own inquiries, so maybe reaching out to them would be more helpful. Good Luck!

Yes, look for the Safe for septic tank logo on Ecover product to check for septic tank safety. All of their products are completely biodegradable. :)
