Strainer dispenser and method of use

A method for using a paint strainer dispenser comprising:

• retrieving a conical paint strainer from the paint strainer dispenser while minimizing contamination of the conical paint strainer, the conical paint strainer including a conical body having an open end defined by a rim at a first end and an apex at a second opposite end, retrieving the conical paint strainer from the paint strainer dispenser including:
• opening a chamber door of a chamber to expose a portion of a first end of a stack of conical paint strainers within the chamber, the first end of the stack of conical paint strainers including an outermost conical paint strainer;
• grasping a first portion of the outermost conical paint strainer of a sufficient size to be grasped between fingers, while avoiding contact with a second portion of the conical paint strainer, the first portion of the conical paint strainer being formed of an imperforate material and a second portion of the conical paint strainer being formed of a perforated material, wherein grasping the first portion of the outermost conical paint strainer includes grasping a dispensing tab, positioned between the rim and the apex, and extending from an outer surface of the first portion of the outermost conical paint strainer;
• applying a force on the outermost conical paint strainer for causing separation of the outermost conical paint strainer from the stack of conical paint strainers;
• and
• removing the outermost conical paint strainer from the chamber of the dispenser including pulling downward on the conical paint strainer while rotating the apex outward.
