ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for dispensing liquid cleaning substances and is particularly useful for dispensing dishwashing detergents. The device is formed with a base and a means for supporting a liquid detergent container above the base. This support may take the form of an encircling wall that defines an enclosure for a pump style detergent container having a laterally projecting spout mounted in its mouth, or an upright stanchion that holds a detergent container at an elevated level above the base. In either event the device is provided with a concave, upwardly facing liquid detergent receptacle located atop the base and directly beneath the dispensing orifice of the liquid detergent container. A sponge support is formed atop the liquid detergent receptacle. The sponge support may include a mesh screen and is hinged relative to the base to rotate about a horizontal axis. The sponge support may be moved between a lowered, horizontal disposition directly above the liquid detergent receptacle and a raised disposition out of vertical alignment between the dispensing orifice and the liquid detergent receptacle. The sponge support provides a convenient place for storing a kitchen sponge, and also allows the sponge to dry out.
