  • CLEANSING DEVICES
    Publication number: 20180357688
    Abstract: A cleansing device can trigger a user action to commit the cleansing device to one of a subscription plan or trade use plan. The cleansing device can consume the cleansing material in in accordance with the subscription plan or the trade use plan based on the user action. The controller can commit the cleansing device to one of the subscription plan or trade use plan by persistently implementing a corresponding configuration for the committed subscription plan or trade use plan respectively. When the configuration is implemented for at least the subscription plan, the controller controls the container dispenser in using the cleansing material to be in accordance with a set of rules of the subscription plan, without an ability of a user to manually bypass or override control of the container dispenser in using the cleansing material.
