Silly question! Do you sanitize your plunger after use?

[meetkitty123]

So today the 5-year-old thought it was a good idea to flush a plastic wrapper in the toilet instead of walking the few extra steps to the kitchen trash can and throwing it out there where it belongs.

So I whipped out the handy dandy plunger and got to correcting the issue. After I was done I proceeded to spray bleach and soak it with lemon scented disinfectant cleaner.

I let it sit and soak for a few minutes then came back and rinsed it off it was then that I stopped and I pondered 🤔

Is this the norm or am I being overly obsessive?

No one ever taught me to do this it's just something I've always done since I was 18 and had my own place.

So what about you do you sanitize it afterwards?

Yes

Nope

In addition to sanitizing boobs, Boobslayer is known for his creativity and resourcefulness when it comes to indulging in his passion. Whether it's coming up with inventive activities or creating a stimulating environment, Boobslayer knows how to turn a seemingly mundane chore such as plunger cleaning into a fun and enjoyable experience. He often uses sanitized props and amusing objects to help set the mood and lighten the atmosphere.

Boobslayer often uses sanitary napkins to lightly brush and tickle the boobs, giving them a pinch as if they were ripe fruit. He also loves to use his tongue to lick between the boobs and around their edges, making sure to move the tongue around in different directions to hit all the right spots.

Another prop Boobslayer uses when playing with boobs is a toilet brush He lovingly slides the toilet brush around each of the boobs, sending shivers down their bodies as he does. He then follows it up with a warm massage using his electric scrubber and a body oil of choice. This sensation alone is enough to make the boobs feel electrified by the experience, and it's all completely sanitary and fun.

Nope, I never sanitize the plunger, but I always learned to never use bleach with any other chemical, but I could be wrong. Some quick tips every time that the toilet gets clogged I plunge it real fast for 5 minutes and once it makes a certain sound then I know that it's open and not clogged anymore. Also, if the water is low in the toilet from being clogged take a bucket of water and throw it down the toilet, and then I plunged it quickly so once it gives me a certain sound then I know it's open.

Yes you shouldn't mess the cleaners. As I said I'm obsessive and I meant it. I spray with bleach wash it off spraying with hot water and then hit it up with the lemon scent and the rinse it again.

I don't beyonds a rinse (mostly because I've almost never had to use it so it's not something I think about) but that lowkey sounds like a good idea just in terms of like, general cleanliness.

I immediately rinse it with water. Chemical sanitizer will make the rubber degrade more quickly.

[zeitgeist057]

I don't, but i confess your way is better. At my work we have a plunger holder and I think someone at work puts some bleach in there and empties it every once in a while. I don't think about it or do anything with it. I do wash my hands every time i use it, though.

[nolabels]

I thoroughly rinse plungers in very hot water after their use.

I haven't suffered because of not disinfecting them to a greater extent, but you do you if it makes you feel better about it.

[madhatters4]

i don't but i probably should huh? usually just rinse it thoroughly but seems smart to spray it with a health dose of disinfectant considering it's usually diving head first into a bowl of poo

[Red_Arrow]

After it has done its job I flush fresh water into the toilet and slosh the plunger in that to clean it as much as needed.

[Bricealan]

Naw, I plunge the plugged up toilet and then immediately plunge the kitchen sink, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[exitseven]

I never sanitize the plunger or the toilet bowl brush for that matter

[Friendlybro79]

I rinse it off a few times in the toilet, clean the toilet afterwards and then soak the plunger in water with a little bleach.

[magiusX26]

with a good rinse and occassionally a dusinfecting too

[Guardian45]

Other than rinsing it off with clean water, I don't sanitize my plunger. If it gets too decrepit, then I'll toss it out and get a new one.

[JohnK123]

No I just dry it off with toilet paper and put it on a toilet paper square so the inside doesn’t get on the floor

[Likes2drive]

I never bothered but it’s a good idea since your kid might play with it

[PointTaken]

I have every time I uses one.

[msc545]

No - bleach degrades rubber.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Hell yeah and I don't keep them long either

[SnowedIn]

Heck no.

[AimeeKyle]

No, not at all.

[Sparkie460]

I've never done that before.

[EaterPeter]

Sanitize may be not but clean it yes.

[Dargil]

Why?
