Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a dispenser for cleaning wipes that includes a container base and a lid with a cover and body. The lid has an indentation or a recessed well for dispensing wipes. The cover can secure over the indentation and extend over the top surface and side surface of the body or only a portion of the body top surface. The lid also has an ergonomic gripping recess along its outer periphery. The technical effects of this invention include easy access to cleaning wipes, convenient storage and dispensing, and improved user experience.

Problems solved by technology

However, many traditional containers do not adequately allow users to comfortably grip the container, nor easily remove wipes.
Lids are not easily reclosed without a customer having to manipulate the head of the wipe that is protruding from the specially-designed opening.
Container lids often push the wipes back through the opening, causing a user to have to rethread the wipes each time the container is opened.
