Abstract
A wall-mounted container capable of storing in bulk both liquid and powdered forms of standard laundry products, such as detergents, bleaches and fabric softeners. The container has a wide opening at the top for receiving fluid laundry products. The top may be closed with a tight fitting lid which may also serve as a stand to support a cup for receiving the dispensed products. The bottom of the container is a funnel shape to allow the fluid contents to flow downwards into a valve located at the apex of the funnel. A standard ball valve with a wide aperture is capable of passing both liquid and powdered materials while preventing any leakage when closed.
