My house was built in 1920 and now and then, we need a plunger for the toilet. I'm sure not only old houses have plumbing that require a need for a plunger but old houses definitely require owning one! So, while it's fine for to live on the bathroom floor when it's clean and dry, it's another thing altogether when it's been used. There you are, worried about overflow! And after sticking this thing into the toilet, you just plop this down unto the floor after stopping the spillage! And now, if you care, you have to wash the floor from the bacteria laden (along with probable fecal matter or at best, urine filled water... anyhow. I know it's gross but this under 50 cents disc of plastic makes less work and that's worth it. I have to credit my son, Steve for coming up with this one. But this is brilliant! Here is pic I took to show you how perfect the fit is!
Can you tell what it is? It's one of those plastic things that you get in the plant section of the supermarket to protect your furniture from over watering damage when watering your plants and after a google search, I learned they are called Vinyl Plant Saucers. It's the one that is 6 inches round.
No more drippy, yucky dirty toilet water drips onto a clean floor! And yes. After a messy cleanup, it is ideal to clean the plunger and the plastic disc can be washed in soapy water. I spray the plunger something strong! Like bleach, or Lysol or something. Then it's back into the corner until the next emergency!
Brilliant idea!!
