  • Some sheet products may be used, for example, for cleaning greasy or oily surfaces such as engine surfaces or automobile surfaces.
  • the sheet product may be impregnated with a solvent or other liquid that cleans grease or oil from such surfaces.
  • the sheet products are often stored in a container that prevents contaminants from fouling the sheet products and that prevents the sheet products from drying due to exposure to air.
  • Using sheet products in different work environments has led to a desire for sheet product containers that offer ease of use or one — handed operation.
  • sheet product containers being deployable in a plurality of environments, it is also desirable to have a sheet product container that is readily portable and/or easily replenished for multiple jobs.
  • a sheet product user may work in an office with several sections available for the user to work in, As such, it may be beneficial for the office worker to transport sheet products efficiently, and attach them securely for free handed use during labor (for example, using one hand to dispense sheet product). Furthermore, it may be beneficial to deploy several sheet product containers across multiple portions of the office. It follows that it may also be desirable that the plurality of sheet product containers be easily replenished. For example, a wall-mounted sheet product container may offer portability and ease of replenishment. The sheet product container may be easily secured to a surface to allow for one-handed operation. Further, if an attachment apparatus separate from the container is employed, the sheet product may be relatively easily replenished through replacement of the container or removing the container for refilling the sheet product contained therein.
