CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
       [0001]    This application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application 61/556,991, filed Nov. 8, 2011, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. 
     
    
     STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH 
       [0002]    Not applicable 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    Pipes that move fluids and solids are prone to clogging, especially pipes in toilets. Toilet paper, paper towels, or other items dropped in toilet bowl may become lodged into the pipes and prevent the water and waste from exiting the inner toilet bowl area. In some cases failure to remove the blockage can cause overflow of the inner toilet bowl if the bowl is repeatedly flushed. Traditional plungers have been in use for years to help unclog a clogged, pipe, especially toilets. These plungers typically have a rubber membrane in a hemisphere shape attached to a pole. The membrane is placed into the inner toilet bowl and by pushing on the pole pushes the obstruction through the pipe. The membrane comes into contact with the blockage frequently rendering the plunger unsanitary after use, likewise there may be a back splash of unsanitary fluids from the toilet bowl that either exit the toilet, or get on the user themselves. Many users simply place the plunger next to the toilet after use without properly cleaning it, which increases germ life and chance for infections. Likewise, some bathrooms may not have a plunger readily available when one is needed. 
         [0004]    In view of the foregoing, it would be beneficial if the user could have a device which could efficiently and sanitarily clean and remove pipe and toilet clogs. The present invention provides a novel inventive device that is stored in the bathroom, or any other room. The present inventive device can be used with any type of toilet on the market in both, old and newly designed toilets and pipes. The present inventive device is designed specifically to simplify the present plungers keeping the sanitary issues in mind. As a result, the present inventive device is one the most sanitary plunger available. The present inventive device provides the consumer a practical way in which to swiftly eradicate clogs from pipes or toilets in a simple splash-free manner sparing the consumer exertion associated with repeatedly pumping a plunger up and down experienced by present conventional plungers. The present inventive device would prevent the user from experiencing splashing and spilling onto the floor and in worse case scenarios, onto the user. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0005]    In various embodiments, the present disclosure describes mechanical tubular cleaning systems including preferably three sections. The three sections preferably include a shaft portion with a constant diameter section, a tip portion of the shaft that maybe indented in the middle resembling, substantially, a concave shape creating, preferably, two triangular points. The handle section is preferably an oval shape that is graspable by a user with one hand. The handle also preferably includes a guard separating the handle from the shaft section. The handle guard preferably allows for leverage when contending with blockage in a pipe or tubular orifice allowing the user to apply force on the blockage. The handle guard also preferably protects the user from materials back splashing from the pipe and striking the user. 
         [0006]    When the present inventive device is inserted into a pipe, as in the case of a toilet bowl, in one embodiment of the invention, the constant diameter section of the shaft of the present invention penetrates into the toilet pipes and tubes threading through the toilet siphon moving internal to the siphon until contacting the stoppage. As pressure is applied downward on the handle, the preferably tapered concave tip section of the shaft allows the tip of the shaft to engage the clogs, and blockage and preferably dislodge the blockage. By either forcing the clogs and/or blockage through the trap of the toilet and/or fragmenting the clogs and/or blockage the toilet bowl siphon and/or pipes are cleared and the toilet may properly function. This method of use can be applied to a variety of other pipes as would be known in the art. 
         [0007]    The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features of the present disclosure in order that the detailed description that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the disclosure will be described hereinafter, which form the subject of the claims.
