Question 1

What cleaning procedure do you recommend for sanitizing the soft rubber after each use?

Accepted Answer

First, I rinse it in the toilet water. Then, I mix up some bleach water and wipe it down with a rag. Third, I soak it in a water and baking soda paste. Fourth, I use a toothbrush and a squirt bottle of vinegar and really give it a good scrubbing, inside and out. Finally, I use a bottle of natural spring water purified via reverse osmosis and give it a final rinse. After that, I just dry it off with a brand new chamois before hitting it with a couple of spritzes of lavender essential oil. Only then is it clean enough to put behind the toilet.

Question 2

For someone who isn't very strong, does the "head" compress easily?

Accepted Answer

The head is very flexible.  It fits odd openings and does not require much force to push.  The head does not offer much push resistance.  This puppy works great!

Question 3

Does this have a lip that traps water?

Accepted Answer

Hello, an effective plunger has to have a method for storing some water inside the bulb in order to prime and seal the plunger to the bowl.  This plunger does not have the inverted lip that I believe you are referring to.  I guess if you somehow got the bottom part of the bulb inverted upwards, you'd have a mess, but that is not how this plunger is designed to work.  If used properly, the water will not become trapped inside the bulb.  It's great on my toilet drain design which is round and a 1.6 gal flow.  It is not designed to be intentionally inverted on the bottom of the bulb in order to use on a sink or tub.  I hope this helps.

Question 4

Has anyone found a plunger house/cover that fits this?  I bought the InterDesign one but it is too small

Accepted Answer

My solution was to buy a "Graff 7.95 in. x 7.08 in. Resin Planter with Saucer" at Home Depot (less than $5.00).  The taper design of the planter is very important.  The Korky Toilet Plunger is about 6 inches in diameter so it will rest about 1/2 way down inside and sit securely upright in the planter.  This allows me to keep the Korky Toilet Plunger next to the toilet and ready for use.   Again, the planter must be tapered.
