FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a mounting system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a holder for a box of rags.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A wall mounting device that can hold boxes is in demand. People, especially when doing laundry or organizing their garages, need an easily accessible location to keep rags and accessories organized, allowing them to keep their laundry or garage spaces clean. In a laundry area, for example, many items may be found, including clothing, detergent, and laundry containers, and boxes of rags may be scattered around such an area, unorganized. In addition, storage areas in a laundry room or a garage can become disorganized and cluttered as items accumulate. As a result, items within a disorganized laundry room or disorganized storage area can be difficult to find when needed and can frequently be damaged or broken upon contacting other items or being stepped on.
Companies have attempted to manufacture various storage organizers, including racks, shelves, and drawers. However, such organizers have numerous drawbacks. Items stored in them frequently become cluttered and disheveled on the shelves or racks themselves. In addition, such organizers' structural designs make them difficult to install. Some organizers are designed to conceal the items being stored in such a way that the items can be dislodged or damaged when a user attempts to view and identify the stored items. Other organizers' structural design increases aesthetic appeal at the expense of stability, simplicity, and affordability. Accordingly, there is a need for a device that solves these problems.
The present invention is intended to address problems associated with and/or otherwise improve on conventional devices through an innovative holding device whose structure is simple and lightweight and that is easy to install while incorporating other problem-solving features.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a cleaning wipe holding apparatus suited for hoisting cleaning wipes along a wall or any suitable vertical surface. The cleaning wipe holding apparatus comprises a mounting bracket, at least one mounting element, and a fastening element. The mounting bracket comprises a mounting surface and a fastening surface. The mounting surface traverses along the mounting bracket. The fastening surface traverses along the mounting bracket, opposite to the mounting surface. The at least one mounting element is distributed about the mounting surface. The fastening element is connected adjacent to the fastening surface.
