FAQs
Can I use this on a toilet?
Yes, the 14cm cup is designed to provide sufficient suction for both sink drains and standard toilet bowls.
How do I store the plunger?
You can hang it using the loop at the end of the handle or detach the handle for storage in a drawer or cabinet.
Does this work on grease clogs?
The plunger is best for physical obstructions. For heavy grease, you may need to use hot water and soap before plunging to loosen the buildup.
What is the total length of the plunger?
The plunger has a total reach of 49cm when fully assembled.
Is the handle material rust-proof?
The handle is constructed from durable, moisture-resistant materials suitable for use in bathroom and kitchen environments.
Troubleshooting
Plunger loses suction during use
Ensure the drain is covered with enough water to fully submerge the cup. If the seal fails, check for debris on the rim of the suction cup.
Handle feels loose
Unscrew the handle and check the threads for blockage, then reattach it firmly to the base.
Suction cup is deformed
Soak the rubber cup in warm (not boiling) water for 5 minutes to restore its original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The plunger arrives as two main components: the suction cup base and the handle. Simply screw the handle securely into the threaded socket on the suction cup until hand-tight to ensure no air leaks during operation.
Compatibility: This tool is compatible with most standard kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, floor drains, and standard toilet bowls. Please ensure the surface surrounding the drain is relatively flat to allow the suction cup to form a complete vacuum seal.
Care Instructions: After each use, rinse the suction cup with warm water and a mild disinfectant to prevent odor buildup. Allow the plunger to air dry completely before storing it in a dark, cool place. Do not store the rubber cup under heavy items, as this may deform the material and reduce suction effectiveness over time.
