Narrative:

Toilet paper roll falling in the aft right toilet on previous flight may have caused back-up of toilet. Toilet paper roll holder is missing. Toilet paper was left on the sink counter for use. Cleaning crew came in hazmat suits for clean-up. Clean-up crew did not remove aft galley carts. Additional overflow continued to seep out from under the carts during taxi and after takeoff. Additional clean-up needed [upon landing]. I will be discarding my shoes worn on the trip. [Recommend that] soaked carpet in rear of aircraft should be replaced. Plane is still operating. Seat rows 23 thru 25 and aft galley saturated with toilet water. Complacency [issue].
