In order to get the best possible use and to ensure that your plunger lasts as long as possible, there are a few things you can do to help prolong its life. | |||
 |
Cleaning and storageWhen plunging, you are often dealing with unclean waste water. After plunging, it is a good idea to wash and disinfect your plunger so it is clean and hygienic for when you next come to need it. |

 |

 |
Some flange plunger manufacturers will supply a container for the plunger to be stored in upright, within the area where the plunger is needed. This makes it easily accessible when needed for a plunging job. | |||
 |
If the plunger does not come with a handy storage container, keep it in a dry place, out of sunlight (direct sunlight can cause the rubber to perish and this can cause cracks and tears). | |||
 |
A bucket or bag is a favoured storage solution for many people. | |||
