US 2011/0253180 A1 · TOILET PLUNGER CLEANING RECEPTACLE

Abstract

The toilet plunger cleaning receptacle includes a main receptacle tank for receiving a toilet plunger and a volume of sanitizing solution. The bell of the plunger is positioned between a lower brush and an upper brush so that rotation of the plunger handle abrades both the interior and exterior surfaces of the bell against the upper and lower brushes. The tank of the receptacle further receives and holds a sanitizing solution to disinfect the toilet plunger. A pair of upper access doors may be provided for allowing the user access to the interior of the tank. A drainage hole is formed through a lower surface of the tank, allowing for the drainage of used sanitizing solution.
