Abstract
A splash shield for a toilet plunger or brush includes a membrane that fits over the top of a toilet bowl. The membrane seals tightly around the toilet bowl rim and has an aperture proximate the center so the user can slide the plunger or brush handle up through the aperture and affix the edges of the membrane around the toilet bowl, and then plunge or clean the toilet. After use, the user can remove the membrane from the toilet bowl and wrap the contaminated head of the plunger or brush within the membrane and take it away to be cleaned. A new membrane may be placed on the cleaned plunger or brush to act as a sanitary cover until its next use.
