The plunger. It’s a dirty topic that no one talks about, but we all have to deal with it. We've all had the same experience; we plunge the toilet and don't know what to do with that nasty plunger afterwards. A lot of times after use, the go-to is to stick it in the tub or back on the floor to deal with the inevitable later.
The idea of the Schoon was a glimmer in inventor Elaine Steele's brain one morning in January of 2020 after plunging yet another clog in her old bathroom in her old house in Arlington. After an initial search of the internet for a plunger that has a way to clean itself, Elaine realized a self-cleaning plunger did not exist.
So How Does the Schoon Work? After unclogging your toilet, the Schoon allows you to use the wand to spray disinfectant over the top and the underneath of the plunger cup, cleaning the plunger immediately after use. The Schoon’s design also allows you to spray and disinfect the surrounding bathroom area.
