ABSTRACT:
One preferred embodiment of the present invention is directed to a convenient and efficient dispenser that includes at least one container and at least one nozzle for dispersing the contents of the container(s). In one preferred embodiment, first and second nozzles functionally associated with sterilization agent within the container are positioned to disperse the sterilization agent to first and second target points respectively, the first target point being distinct from the second target point. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a grid is positioned in front of the nozzle(s) so that a dispersement of sterilization agent from within the container(s) sterilizes the grid(s) when the nozzle(s) are activated. Yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention is directed to a multiple-mist dispenser that includes a dual chamber activation sleeve so that two nozzles are simultaneously actuable by depression of the dual chamber activation sleeve.
