Abstract
A mouthwash dispenser includes a housing having a bottom wall, a top wall and a peripheral wall extending between and being attached to the top and bottom walls. A dispensing outlet is fluidly coupled to the housing and extends away from the bottom wall. A valve assembly is fluidly coupled to the dispensing outlet for selectively opening or closing the dispensing outlet. A drain assembly retrieves fluid from the dispensing outlet. A mouthwash solution may be positioned in the housing such that mouthwash may be dispensed through the dispensing outlet. The drain assembly is positioned below the housing such that any spilled mouthwash will be caught in the drain assembly.
