Hotel “Please Flush Toilet Tissue Only” Tent Card...
Every hotelier knows that keeping plumbing systems running smoothly is vital to guest satisfaction. Yet one of the most common – and costly – problems in accommodation management is when guests flush items that simply shouldn’t go down the toilet.
From wipes and cotton buds to sanitary products and paper towels, the list of culprits is long. The result? Blocked pipes, unpleasant odours, expensive call-outs, and potential damage to your reputation if the issue affects multiple rooms.
Even with the best housekeeping routines in place, the truth is that guests don’t always think before they flush. That’s why a clear, polite reminder in every bathroom can make such a difference.
A simple message – “Please Flush Toilet Tissue Only” – is often all it takes to encourage responsible use and prevent plumbing issues before they start.
A Small Sign That Makes a Big Difference
One of my most popular Zazzle designs is a plastic tent card for hotel bathrooms featuring exactly that message: “Please Flush Toilet Tissue Only”, with space for the hotel’s name printed neatly underneath.
It’s a professional, durable solution that blends in perfectly with your guest room décor while still being clearly visible beside the toilet or sink.
Made from wipe-clean plastic, it’s easy to maintain and ideal for high-traffic settings where paper notices wouldn’t last long.
Many hotel managers who’ve ordered this item have commented on how such a modest investment has prevented recurring maintenance problems.
It’s especially useful for small hotels, guest houses and self-catering properties that don’t have a full-time maintenance team on hand.
The tent card is both practical and discreet – an elegant way to remind guests without resorting to unsightly laminated sheets taped to the wall.
Why Guests Flush the Wrong Things
It’s not that guests intentionally cause blockages – often they simply assume that if an item can fit down the toilet, it’s fine to flush.
Unfortunately, wipes labelled as “flushable” can still cause major problems once they reach the plumbing system, especially in older buildings with narrow or complex pipework.
Combined with paper towels or cotton pads, these materials can form stubborn clogs that are costly to remove. A well-placed sign acts as a gentle nudge, helping people think twice and protect your facilities.

Ideal for Hotels, B&Bs and Self-Catering Accommodation
Whether you manage a luxury hotel, a seaside B&B or a set of holiday cottages, consistent signage helps maintain standards. Including a “Please Flush Toilet Tissue Only” tent card in each bathroom is a quick and affordable way to set expectations clearly.
The message can be personalised with your hotel’s name, logo or colour scheme on Zazzle, making it look like part of your overall branding rather than an afterthought.
Cost-Effective and Hygienic
Plumbing repairs can be expensive, but preventing the problem costs next to nothing. Each tent card is made from high-quality plastic that resists water damage, cleaning products and humidity – far better than paper alternatives.
They’re also freestanding, so there’s no need for adhesives or drilling holes in tiles. Simply place one on the cistern or counter and it stays put. A simple step, but one that could save hundreds of pounds over time in emergency plumbing costs.
