Abstract: An apparatus and method for use to allow for portably cleaning and sanitizing a surface, such as a toilet seat, using a flushable product. The surface cleaning device includes a body, and a front head comprising a wrapper encapsulating a wipe. The front head is then inserted into the body and the wrapper is rippable or tearable whereby a user may use a shearing motion to open the wrapper and expose a chemically impregnated wipe for sanitizing a surface. The surface cleaning device is designed to be lightweight, concealable, and portable such as to allow ease of use when carrying in a pocket, purse, or bag. Alternatively, the surface cleaning device may be provided in a dispensing device in or near a restroom, similar to dispensing devices that may hold sanitary napkins, tampons, or toilet seat covers.
