LOL......I got one of those huge plungers that are like an accordian you push down on & the water does down the drain......& the first time I used it......making sure it was clean after I used it was my first thought......what I actually do is flush the toilet several times after I get it cleared.......& at that time I stick the plunger down into the clean water & use that clean water to wash it out for several flushings until I feel the plunger is clean......this isn't one of those little hat looking plungers.....so for me to get the inside clean....is definitely important.....yick.....can't imagine sticking a dirty plunger into the holder I have for it.....I don't let it just drip onto the floor either.

Oh yes.....I have thought the same thought as you. I hate my master bathroom toliet because you can't even use it much before it gets clogged.....& having a septic tank rather than normal city pluming on my farm.....makes me even more sensitive to the problems I deal with.
