It contains a small hole in the splash guard, through which the plunger rod fits, so you can raise and lower the plunger without the water, which is often filled with waste, splashing onto you or the floor.

    Newspaper and Towels

These items only protect the floor from splashing water, however; you still need to wear gloves or old clothing to protect you and your clothes.
