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 :)

I'm not really sure but i would say no. It is used to eat the waste in your septic with the bacteria in it.

My main answer is I don't know. But, I have a strong suspicion that it would be safe. Because it's biodegradable, it will break down easily. The info I was able to find about this matter also said it was safe. It's just hard to know for certain. If I were you, I would definitely use it with a septic system but, again, I'm not 100% certain. Hope that helps!!

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."

Other "septic safe" powders used to clog our constantly clog our septic system. Since we switched to Charlie's soap we have had much less cloging issues with the septic. I would say about 3/4 less septic issues. Also I do believe the regular size can is labeled septic safe. Additionally, this soap leaves our front loader free of that disgusting film left behind by other leading brands.

Yes it can. I'm on septic and my plumber recommends using a product such as this to keep our toilet tank operating properly. I have used it twice and have no problems.

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.

Even though the box does not state whether it is or not, I have never had a problem with it. I have had septic systems for the last 30 years.

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

I would think so, it didn't say that it wasn't safe for septic tanks. And yes, the cord comes with it.

I am not certain, but dogs are mammals like us, so I don't know why the enzymes and bacteria you use would not break down dog doo just as well as human poo. Ask your vet? Ask your local septic dude? You will be putting a little dirt and grass in with each deposit, so mention that to the septic guy as well. If it was me, I would expect it to work without messing up your tank, but I'm no expert, and I don't have a septic tank.

Stain Solver is TOTALLY safe to use in septic systems. It actually enhances the biologic activity of the beneficial bacteria in tanks to help break down solids.

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.

The direct answer to the question, is it safe, the answer is yes but it should not be used for septic systems. Star-Sans is a sanitizer used to kill bacteria or to "sanitize" items used for home brewing (beer). If used it will try to kill the bacteria in you septic which is the opposite of what you want. Use a product like "Rid-X" to promote bacterial growth. Plus this stuff is too expensive to flush down the drain!

The Bleach cleaner is not safe for septic tanks. It would be our recommendation to use Bio-Balance (model 8202) Septic Cleaner or Original Blue Formulas as these have no chemicals that will harm the enzymes that are needed for your Septic system.

I used it when I had septic and experienced no problems. This is the best cleanser ever.
