Abstract
In a first form, a transparent, biodegradable, disposable shield is sized to fit on a toilet bowl rim to prevent splashing of water from the bowl when a plunger is used. In a second form, the shield is placed on a toilet when it is flushed to prevent emission of particles into surrounding air. Both shields preferably are dome shaped and preferably have an upstanding X-shaped projection forming a handle. In the first form, an X-shaped opening in the projection receives a plunger handle. Pressure sensitive adhesive or strips of adhesive tape releasably secures the shield in position. The shield is nestable and may be part of a kit including the splash shield, gloves, at least one paper towel, and a flattened box, all packaged in an envelope-like bag that can be used to contain and dispose of these items following use.
