ABSTRACT:
A toilet drip and splash guard is comprised of an annular sheet with a central opening. A down-turned flange is arranged at an inner edge of the sheet, and an upturned flange is arranged at an outer edge of the sheet. A tongue is arranged at a rear end of the sheet. The guard is positioned on a toilet rim, with the tongue inserted between the hinges of the toilet seat to prevent the guard from rotating. The inner diameter of the guard is slightly smaller than an inner diameter of the toilet rim. The guard is centered about the toilet rim by having the down-turned flange engaged around the inner edge of the toilet rim. The toilet rim is thus shielded from urine drips and splashes. The guard is substantially wider than the toilet rim, so that it is projected substantially beyond the toilet rim for shielding the floor under the toilet from urine drips and splashes. The front of the guard is narrower than the sides so as not to obstruct a user standing in front of the toilet. The sheet is easily installed and removed, and it is also very easy to clean.
