Abstract: A telephone sanitation device is formed from a soft foam pad treated with a disinfectant. The foam pad is secured to a support ring provided with an adhesive backing. In use, the adhesive backing is applied to the base of a telephone, in a position such that the telephone mouthpiece rests against the disinfectant treated foam when the telephone is not in use. The foam and foam support plate may be provided in circular, oval and rectangular configurations, for use with a variety of telephone styles. The disinfectant treated foam may be backed by an absorbent material which continuously supplied disinfectant to the foam by a wicking action. The foam support base may be formed as a cartridge type holder which houses replaceable disinfectant foam pads.
