Are they flushable in toilet?

Thanks for your question. No, while Portawipes™ are biodegradable as advertised, they are NOT designed to be flushable. In order for a wipe to be labeled as "flushable" it must meet certain industry criteria in terms of losing strength and integrity within minutes after becoming wet and ultimately break up shortly after it enters a sewage system. Due to the strength and re-usability features of Portawipes™ they cannot be compliant with flushability standards. Please dispose used wipes properly after use.

- What are the dimensions of this item?

Thank you for your question. Portawipes measure 9.45*9.45 inches in size

Can you dip these in rubbing alcohol as you do water, & use them as a sterile gauze, disnfecting wipe, or even a firestarter?

I have about one dozen in a canister with alcohol (cut with just a bit of water). They make great alcohol wipes.

How is biodegradabiility certified? most products the claim to be biodegradable don't meet specific industry testing specifications (i.e. astm)

These are on the thicker side. While it might be biodegradable I’m sure it will take a long to and might clog the toilet
