The receptacle receives a toilet plunger, and the bell of the plunger is positioned between the upper and lower brushes. Rotation of the plunger handle allows for the scrubbing of the plunger bell between the brushes. The receptacle is further designed to receive a separate toilet brush and also to hold a sanitizing solution. Both the plunger and toilet brush are immersed within the sanitizing solution to properly disinfect the toilet implements. The plunger cleaner is provided with a drain for drainage of the used sanitizing solution.

Abstract

The receptacle (10) includes a main receptacle tank (12) for receiving a toilet plunger (18) and a volume of sanitizing solution. The bell (20) of the plunger (18) is positioned between a lower brush (26) and an upper brush (24) so that rotation of the plunger handle abrades both the interior and exterior surfaces of the bell (20) against the upper (24) and lower (26) brushes. The tank (12) of the receptacle (10) further receives and holds a sanitizing solution to disinfect the toilet plunger (18). A pair of upper access doors (14, 16) may be provided for allowing the user access to the interior of the tank (12). A drainage hole (30) is formed through a lower surface (40) of the tank (12), allowing for the drainage of used sanitizing solution.
