I would think it wouldn't be good pouring a wet solution down the drain into a sewer system, yes/no? Does the packaging say anything about deposal?

I'm thinking of how they tell us not to dispose of extra meds down the toilet. I think they burn them.


In a perfect world, we wouldn't put ANY chemicals into the environment.

I didn't see anything about proper disposal, but I didn't look either.

Not trying to minimize your concern, but there are people and golf course all over my area that spray fertilizer/bug killer on the lawns and all that runs into the sewers and then waste treatment plants before going back into lakes.

I don't think a few gallons of clothing soak is going to tip the tide one way or the other.

Like everything you have to decide where your comfort zone is and do what you feel is best.
