The invention relates to a method for cleaning of indoor or outdoor areas by operating a dirt stop surface, comprising the steps of dividing the dirt stop surface (1) into surface units (4), dispensing a fluid flow on the surface to be cleaned, while the proximity of the surface to be cleaned is sensed separately for each surface unit (4), and the fluid is dispensed from the surface units (4) of the dirt stop surface in a selective manner such that only the surface units (4) in the proximity of which the presence of the surface to be cleaned has been sensed are applied for dispensing the fluid. The invention relates further to a dirt stop surface unit and a dirt stop surface assembled therefrom that is capable of carrying out the method.

A dust suction device includes: a main body composed of a bottom plate and a footboard, wherein a dust suction part is formed in the bottom plate, and the footboard seals the dust suction part and has suction holes formed on the upper part thereof to allow the dust to be sucked to the dust suction part; a number of springs provided on the bottom inside the bottom plate matching the number of suction holes; balls which are provided on the upper part of the springs and which are in close contact with the suction holes of the footboard and open and close the suction holes; and a suction part which is connected to a side portion of the main body through a hose and sucks the dust through the suction holes toward the dust suction part when the suction holes are open.

A surface disinfecting assembly for sterilizing a sole of a shoe includes a box that is positionable on a floor and is positioned adjacent to a selected area such that the box can be stepped in. A pad is positionable in the box and the pad is infused with a fluid antiseptic. In this way the pad sanitize a sole of the shoe thereby inhibiting the shoe from transferring bacteria into the selected area. A cushion is positionable adjacent to the box and the cushion can be stepped upon. The cushion is comprised of a fluid absorbent material for absorbing the fluid antiseptic from the sole of the shoe after the pad is stepped upon.

The invention provides a device for disinfecting and cleaning parts of persons, animals and objects which includes a plurality of sheets and a plurality of substrate layers. Each substrate layer is disposed between two sheets. Each sheet includes an adhesive layer and an antibacterial layer. A tab is arranged on each sheet. The invention can remove the dirt from a foot or paw as well as gently disinfect the foot or paw. Dirt, lint, hair, dust, and germs can be removed from the foot or paw using a gentle, antibacterial, sticky sheet on which the individual steps on.

An automated threshold sanitizing apparatus cleans and sanitizes the soles of footwear and feet in a hands-free manner. The apparatus dispenses a pre-saturated sanitized sheet across the threshold for the user to clean and sanitize the soles. A receiving roller draws the sanitized sheet from a dispensing roller to advance a predetermined section of the sheet across the threshold. The receiving and dispensing rollers are housed in a cartridge on opposite sides of threshold. A contaminated section of the sheet is rolled onto the receiving roller for disposal, and replaced by a new sheet that is dispensed across the threshold. A sensor detects motion across threshold, such as footwear moving away from threshold, triggering transmission of a signal to a motor. The motor drives a gear roller that meshes with, and rotates, the receiving roller to draw in sheet. The cartridges include a lid for accessing and replacing rollers.

A shoe scrubber has a machine frame forming a trough extending in a longitudinal direction, a platform supported in the frame, extending longitudinally above the trough, and subdivided into two longitudinally extending paths, a respective pair of elongated longitudinally extending rollers having radially extending cleaning elements in the trough under each of the paths with the elements projecting upward through the platform, and means for rotating the rollers and thereby scrubbing dirt from soles of shoes on the platform in the paths.

A device may include a handle component that is configured to permit a user to grasp the handle component during a sanitation process of the user wherein the user sanitizes a distal appendage using the device. The device may include a shaft component that extends in a vertical direction and that is configured to connect the handle component and a connection component. The device may include the connection component that is configured to removably adhere to a surface to permit the device to remain substantially stationary during the sanitation process of the user. The device may include a brush component that is configured to permit the user to perform the sanitation process of the user and that is removably connected to the connection component.
