Abstract: A holder is described for releasably holding a hand wipe at a workman's belt or other clothing location, which enables holding of common wipes without any alteration to the wipes. The holder includes a body formed of flexible but tough material and having a band portion that fits around a workman's belt and having a wipe-receiving portion with a vertical tapered slot. A workman projects the corner of a hand wipe into the upper wide end of the slot and slides the hand wipe down along the slot to the narrow lower end thereof.
