Abstract:
A combination cleaning and plunger tool consisting of a handle portion having at one end a brush for cleaning surface areas. The other end of the tool includes a cylindrical plunger portion which can be used to move refuse from the bottom of a sink into a garbage disposal unit. Located between the plunger and handle portion is a plate member including depending legs. The plate member is larger than the drain opening of a sink and the plunger is smaller than the drain opening, so that the plunger can force material through the drain opening and the plate will limit the movement of the plunger. The plate is provided with legs so that liquid can freely flow into the drain opening when the tool is used during the plunging action or when it is merely in a stored position with the plunger located in the drain opening when it is not being used.
