Toilet Plungers – Professional Grade Toilet Plunger Guide
There are a lot of toilet plungers on the market for you to choose. We have created a selection of plungers to choose from below for your convenience.
Lets face it, nobody wants to stand in a bathroom and plunge away at a toilet clog. That is exactly why you should always be armed with a good quality toilet plunger when faced with a clogged toilet. Get in, get the job done and get out.
Good rubber, is the sign of a good plunger. While a cup style plunger is by far the most popular among home owners, we always recommend that you purchase a cone style plunger for better efficiency. Our experience has shown cone plungers to break through clogs up to four times faster than traditional cup style plungers.
Using a Toilet Plunger
Always make sure that your plunger has made a good seal around the drain hole in the base of the toilet. You should then begin applying downward pressure on the plunger and then repeating. Use a moderate level of force but don't push down to hard as you are liable to damage the rubber.
After several plunges, slowly lift the plunger to allow water to drain. If the water is still not draining at this point, you may need to repeat the above again.
If after several attempts, you find that the plunger is still unable to push through the clog, you may consider using a drain snake or seeking professional assistance from a plumber in your area.
Special note: Drain cleaners will typically not work in situations where a plunger was ineffective. We have found a number of people to be using a variety of chemicals to get their toilets flushing again. These chemicals can be harmful to people and drains, we do not recommend their use.
