What? What would be unsafe about it?

This is going to be like popcorn where someone told me to be afraid of it so I dutifully was, but I didn’t know it was about choking for years. I assumed it was like, the little kernel shell could lacerate them somehow.


If you have kids who are young enough that they might eat the cleaner, they're probably young enough to try wearing a plunger as a hat or licking it.

While those are not as unsafe as eating the cleaner, they are less than ideal.

I don't keep a plunger or a brush out in the open where the smallest kids have access.


Teddy said it was a hat,
So I put it on.
Now dad is saying, "where the heck's the toilet plunger gone?"

Good Lord, you people need better plumbing. That said, I sent plungers with my college bound sons.

If they might wear a toilet a hat, climbing onto the tub edge is a much greater risk.

Or you could just watch your kids and close the bathroom doors while not using them.

You know you can flush at halftime right? You don’t have to wait until the end.

My DC is dog sitting & came home and grabbed ours to take care of the situation.


Just a PSA - “every body poops” - sometime even just a dinner guest, and who wants to interrupt dinner asking for a things when the problem is easily remedied if plunger & brush are there.


Yes! Thank you, PP. Things happen, having a plunger in the guest bathroom can save everyone some grief.

Absolutely. Guest bathrooms should always have a plunger and ample extra toilet paper next to the toilet. You can buy a nice container/holder if the look offends you.

Totally agree and I have one in each bathroom. I also leave cleaning supplies in each to help myself if I see I need to clean something up really quickly.
