Home for the Holidays: Making Family Visits Care-Free this Holiday Season

Roto-Rooter Approved Charmin® Guarantees a Clog-Free Holiday

CINCINNATI--()--Charmin, America’s most popular toilet paper for more than 25 years, carries the clog-free and septic safe seal of approval from Roto-Rooter, the largest plumbing repair and drain service in the U.S. Now in its second year of partnership with Roto-Rooter, Charmin is encouraging consumers everywhere to “enjoy the go” with confidence. Not only is Charmin used by more plumbers than any other brand, they offer a money back guarantee, clog-free or your purchase is free!

Charmin’s clog-free promise is important for the upcoming holiday season when the extra company and big festive meals can put a serious strain on a home’s plumbing system. Charmin and Wakefield Research recently conducted a survey that revealed the holiday season as an increasingly busy time of year for plumbers.

Here are a few stats that demonstrate the potential for holiday overflow:

  • 70% of Americans admit to clogging a toilet during the holiday season
  • Almost half of all Americans (48%) have clogged a toilet at their parents’ home during family visits
  • 45% of Americans who have clogged a toilet and been caught, have been caught by their parents

“With more than 75 years of industry experience, we know the holiday gatherings can put a strain on a home’s plumbing system,” said Paul Abrams of Roto-Rooter. “Rather than stress over potential clogs, consumers can rely on Charmin to be clog-free and septic safe.”

“Charmin has been trusted in millions of Americans’ homes for more than 70 years and is proud to carry Roto-Rooter’s stamp of approval,” said Scott Mautz, Regional Brand Director.

To kick-off the campaign, Charmin released a video entitled “Will it Flush?” Coming to life as a game show parody, the video stars iconic host and game show legend Wink Martindale, challenging one lucky family to spin a wheel filled with questionably flushable items. In true Charmin fashion, the video tackles the topic of clogs in a fun, cheeky way, ultimately revealing that while toys and smart phones shouldn’t be flushed, Charmin is undoubtedly flushable.
