How is the cleaning for this plunger? I imagine waste will get caught up in between the bellow ridges.

I have had no more trouble cleaning this item than other types of plungers. The bellows part of the plunger assumes its original shape after use and is relatively easy to clean. I continue to be amazed at the efficiency with which this produce works. If you need a plunger, this is the one to get.

Hi, Hold on to handles, place over drain hole and push firmly. Be careful when you pull up so as not to get splashed. I found this plunger to be the easiest and best I have ever used. It usually works after one (maybe two) plunges and does not take an incredible amount of strength (like other plungers).

I also have a hard time pushing the plunger down. Sometimes the "seal" breaks and it goes down easily. I just think it's the nature of the design. I still love mine and use it every morning.

Yep, that's what I do, just plunge the clean water a few times to clean the inside, then give the outside a quick wipe with some toilet paper. That gets it pretty clean.

Unscrew that black piece on the top of the plunger. You have to feed the plunger part up from the bottom to get it in right.

The round part just below the plunger is the lid and it will unscrew. My wife added a liquid soap designed for women private parts. Unless you use it more than once a week, it will plug up and then you have to take it apart and clean it. Others have experienced this same problem. Be careful not to cross thread the lid when putting it back on.

Absolutely. The plunger pulls right out of the back and the rubber seal can be taken off for cleaning as well.

The plunger works fine. The only difference I see compared to other plungers is that a little more pressure is needed by user on this one. I don't think a instructional video is really necessary. It is a little difficult for me as I am handicapped and my balance & strength are a bit of a problem. Good Luck

I have not been very happy with this plunger and much prefer to the HD Plunger. The RR Plunger appears to be the wrong size and shape for my Toto toilet. But - it has no moving parts, just a strange handle that allows two handed pushing and a sort of prong inside the rubber suction bell, which I suppose is intended to prod or break-up anything solid it encounters. I could never quite make it develop the sort of suction that would cause the water in the pipes to churn back and forth, something that came easily with the HD Plunger. If RR had any special secret instructions for making their plunger work magic, they kept them secret from me. I have not been very happy with this plunger and much prefer to the HD Plunger.

The plunger is in sterile packaging and not designed for reuse. If reused it should be sterilized prior to repacking. Consider the risk of infection or contamination before deciding to reuse what is designed as a disposable item. My .02

No. The plunger is all metal and comes apart for easy cleaning in the dishwasher. This is a very good cafetiere in my opinion.

Try using a really good plunger first. This does the job but it could scratch the the toilet bowl a bit. Anyway, it is cheaper than a plumber.

You can use it several times before you have to clean it, I soak mine in the utility sink in hot water with simple green . then let it air dry. works for me . I really like these bore snakes.

Feed the plunger up from the bottom, then attach the spring (from the top) and finally screw on the black handle. When finished dont forget to slide the red rubber guide into the slot. Without the red rubber guide the cherry pits will not separate from the cherry. It works great but not 100 percent. You may still find a few pits left.

I unscrewed the tip that was in there and screwed it in....the plunger was a little wierd to work, don't push too hard or it squirts everywhere

I've just rinsed it off with a dobie pad or vegetable brush. How often depends on how much junk is in your water.

It is very easy to clean & disinfect; I use a glass cleaner product that foams up. I clean the plunger itself, almost the same way. I think lysol would work well also. I'm ordering another simple human plunger for our main bath at home, as the one we have there has decided to quit "rebounding" after only the occaisonal use; 6 months after purchase from Target. These simple human products are the best quality I've found- soap dispensers also!
