    Abstract: This disclosure includes a description of a sanitizing system for sanitizing a mobile electronic device comprising: a housing; a sanitizer contained within the housing configured to emit radiation with a sanitizing effect; and an entry system with a default closed position, the entry system being configured to permit a mobile electronic device to pass through the entry system and then automatically return to the default closed position, the entry system comprising a first outer enclosure and a second inner obstruction; wherein the entry system blocks radiation emitted within the sanitizing system to a level acceptable for consumer use, or wherein the second inner obstruction provides more radiation attenuation than the first outer enclosure, and/or wherein the combination of the first outer enclosure and the second inner obstruction provides more radiation attenuation than the first outer enclosure by itself. Disclosed are internal reflectors to help distribute sanitizing radiation generally evenly.

    Abstract: A device may include an enclosure configured to receive, store, and dispense a cleaning fluid. A device may include a support base, wherein the enclosure and support base can be configured to support a roll of cleaning wipes in a manner that permits the roll to rotate when one or more cleaning wipes are removed from the roll, wherein the enclosure is configured to be securely attached to the support base by pushing the enclosure downward onto an attachment region of the support base; and wherein the enclosure is configured to be released from the support base by pushing the enclosure downward. A liquid dispenser can have an elongate interior reservoir, a protruding carry loop, and an engagement zone with contours that engage with a latch in a paper-towel holder. The dispenser can have a spray trigger underneath the carry loop and a protruding roll stop. It can be sized to fit within a cylindrical cardboard tube configured to hold paper towels. A paper-towel holder can support and engage a liquid dispenser. The holder can have a stable base with a central latch, and a flat surface to support a paper towel roll.
