I used sink plungers in toilets pretty much my whole life until i scrolled across a similar diagram one day and discovered the truth.

      I guess the kind that actually cleans the plunger after use. When I have to use one, after use, I take it outside and hose it off with the hose pipe then soak it in a bucket of bleach water.

        I just rinse off the plunger in the new toilet water. Never had an issue.

          Plus you can do a double check flush to make sure it’s all clear.
