Abstract

A towelette dispensing device is provided, for cleaning a toilet seat on a toilet bowl, which consists of a receptacle mountable onto a vertical flat surface adjacent the toilet seat. A package of towelettes can be inserted into the receptacle. A towelette can be extracted, one at a time, from the receptacle by a person, to wipe clean the toilet seat used by another person previously. This will satisfy a concern and need for individual personal hygiene by lessening the danger of germs being transmitted from the toilet seat.
