Concentrated cleaning pod, dispenser, and retaining-ejecting mechanism for dispensing cleaning solution therefrom

A container configured for dispensing a composite fluid, the container comprising:

• a cover housing comprising:
• a chamber comprising:
• a recess configured for receiving a pod at least partially therein, wherein the pod is configured to contain a concentrated fluid, and
• a retaining-ejecting mechanism, wherein the retaining-ejecting mechanism comprises:
• at least one seal, wherein the at least one seal is configured to engage the pod to prevent fluid from at least one of the pod or a base to exit the container undesirably, and
• an insert guide configured to assist translation of the inserted pod along a unidirectional path in or out of the chamber,
• wherein the retaining-ejecting mechanism enables the pod to be inserted into a retained position at least partially within the recess, retained in the retained position, and released from the retained position;
• the base at least partially defining a reservoir configured for receiving and maintaining a diluting fluid therein, wherein the composite fluid is a mixture of the diluting fluid and the concentrated fluid;
• and
• a dispensing mechanism configured for selectively dispensing the composite fluid from the container,
• wherein the cover housing is configured to be coupled to the base so as to enclose the reservoir,
• wherein the at least one seal comprises a first seal and a second seal and, when the pod is in the retained position, the first seal is configured to engage the pod to hold the pod seated against the second seal.
