A portable restroom includes an enclosed interior space including a door, a waster tank, a commode disposed within the enclosed interior space and coupled to the waste tank, a power source, a microprocessor coupled to the power source, a memory coupled to the microprocessor, a waste level sensor disposed in the waste tank and coupled to the microprocessor; a door sensor positioned to sense whether the door is open or closed, a door lock sensor positioned to sense whether the door is locked or unlocked, and a light disposed within the enclosed interior space. Sensors can be provided to sense the closed status of the door and the status of the door lock. The light and sensors are coupled to the microprocessor. Additional sensors can monitor various levels and usage of consumables. The microprocessor monitors the sensed data and wirelessly alerts a service provider when the restroom needs service.

A toilet paper guide system having two hooks that hang on a toilet paper dispenser and a slot opening located at the bottom where the toilet paper enters the device. The device may provide for easy access to the toilet paper end and save the user from spending time trying to find the end of the toilet paper roll.

A system for monitoring cleanliness in a store. The system may include a server, a database and at least one sensor. The database may be in communication with the server and may store cleanliness parameters. The system includes at least one sensor configured to transmit measured cleanliness characteristics to the server and the server is configured to transmit a message based on a comparison of the measured cleanliness characteristics and the cleanliness parameters stored in the database.

A dispenser includes a dispenser body having an interior cavity, and an aperture that communicates with the interior cavity. The dispenser also includes a loading door and a lid. The lid engages a dispenser surface when in the closed position to thereby create a substantially gas impermeable seal. The dispenser further includes a mounting surface disposed within the interior cavity and proximal the aperture. The mounting surface includes a mounting interface that permits substantially gas impermeable mounting of a cartridge while permitting access to the cartridge from the exterior of the dispensing body through the aperture.

A biodegradable personal care system which has a biodegradable housing, a biodegradable airtight container positioned in the biodegradable housing, and biodegradable moist wipes positioned inside the biodegradable airtight container. The biodegradable airtight container can be resealable. The biodegradable personal care system can further include a biodegradable dry wipe positioned in a dry wipe container in the biodegradable housing.

A lid assembly, adapted to form part of a dispensing container, includes a closed-loop flange, and a lid is joined to and pivots about the flange via a hinge. A spring is joined to the flange at the first and second ends. The flange, the spring, the lid, and an opening button can all be integrally formed together. In a closed position, the lid is stacked above the flange in a height dimension. The spring forms a convex arc whose convexity extends away from the flange in the height dimension when the lid is in the open position. The spring can be curvilinear and have two, three, four, or more points of inflection, such as by being m- or w-shaped.

An array of toilet tissue products comprising first and second packages, where first package conveys one of strength and softness, and where the second package conveys something different than the first package. The first package may use a character to convey one of strength and softness. Lint, basis weight, total dry tensile, absorbency, and softness are common intensive properties of the first and second toilet tissue products and one or more of these common intensive properties can be different between the first and second toilet tissue products.
