ABSTRACT:
A splash guard and storage apparatus for use with plungers is disclosed. The apparatus includes a shield, a handle, grip, and basin. The plunger rod may be inserted through the shield, handle, and grip. The shield may be positioned along the length of the handle with the grip to block debris that might be expelled during the use of a standard plunger to unclog an apparatus such as a sink or toilet. Additionally, the shield is designed to be attached to the basin, and the apparatus further includes several locking embodiments to keep the shield attached to the basin. The basin further includes several embodiments of the base, such as the addition of dimples or ribs, to allow fresh air to circulate around the suction cup of the plunger. Additionally, a mesh weave may be inserted into the basin to allow for retention of anti-bacterial chemicals, which contact the plunger during storage.
