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.
People like you are the reason there are instructions on a bottle of shampoo.

Yes, a plunger in every bathroom.

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.


No, plungers are ugly, they belong in the basement.


You can by brush and plunger sets that sit in a stand that modestly covers their functional parts. Funny how people can cope with the obviousness of the toilet itself.

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


I forget what comedian, maybe Josh Johnson, but I saw a hilarious video about a case of possible food poisoning and a plugged hotel room toilet and pretending someone had broken into his room and done that to the toilet since there was no plunger in the room.

I keep both in each bathroom. They are cheap and very useful.

It’s humiliating for guests to have to ask for a plunger so I make sure there’s one in every bathroom.

Anywhere people are using the toilet unsupervised (in other words, not a toddler’s bathroom), keep a plunger and a brush. It’s basic courtesy to have these things available to guests who might have an emergency. And everyone can clean up after themselves.

What's the issue with plungers?


Nothing, just overkill (and unsightly) to have one in each bathroom.


I find it more unsightly to go looking for it all over my house in the middle of hosting a few families because someone clogged one of the toilets.

It's for both.

Plunger, no. Brush in a small urn, yes.

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


Yes, but if I'm showering or pooping or bathing my 4 year old while my 1 year old is playing on the floor, I will jump up if they climb on the tub edge, because I can't put the tub away. That doesn't mean I'm not going to put away the things I can put away, because I'd rather not jump up over and over.
