A shoe sole cleaning device may include a fluid reservoir capsule having an inner chamber for containing a cleaning solution. The shoe cleaning device may also include a trough and a fluid pump operably connected to a fluid exit port of the fluid reservoir capsule to pump the cleaning solution from the fluid exit port to the trough. A brush may be disposed partially within the trough such that some of its bristles are at least partially submersible in the cleaning solution in the trough. A motor may cause the brush to rotate about an axial shaft picking up the cleaning solution from the trough to clean a shoe's sole. A fluid recycle conduit may transport the cleaning solution from the trough back to the inner chamber of the fluid reservoir capsule when the cleaning solution in the trough reaches a predetermined height.

A shoe cleaning apparatus including a housing unit having an interior compartment, an opening medially disposed through a top side of the housing unit, and a circular threaded aperture disposed through the top side proximal the opening. A horizontal axis rotary brush having a plurality of bristles is disposed within the opening of the housing unit. A motorized drive belt mechanism is disposed within the housing unit. The motorized drive belt mechanism is configured to rotate the horizontal axis rotary brush. A shoe drying mat has a rear surface attached to a bottom front edge of the housing unit. Each of a front splash guard and a back splash guard of a pair of vertically disposed adjustable dome-shaped splash guards is slidably attached to each of an inner front surface and an inner back surface, respectively, of the opening of the housing unit.

A tool for cleaning dirt and debris from between the treads of a sole of a shoe, boot, or other footwear. The tool includes a pick member extending from a body that narrows into a tip. The body is configured to be held between a thumb and a finger. Several brushes extend from several holes along a length of the pick member from front to back. The tip of the pick member is used to scrape or dislodge the dirt or debris from between the treads. The brushes may also be used to remove dirt and debris that is not dislodged by the tip. The tool is attachable to a key ring for portability and convenient access.

A single handheld brush comprises a body, the body being elongate and comprising first and second ends and an interior, the interior comprising a cavity, wherein, in use, fluid may be stored; the first end comprising a brush head, and wherein the brush head is mounted on a brush base portion, the brush base portion having a first face and a second face and a passage, the passage running through the brush base portion and being open at both ends; the second end comprising a scraping tool; the brush further comprising a flow path running from the cavity, to an aperture in the brush base portion, such that fluid in the cavity may flow along the flow path and be expelled from the aperture, and a valve closure located adjacent the first end, wherein the valve may be moved from an open position wherein the flow path is open, to a closed position wherein the flow path is shut and vice versa, such that the flow of fluid through the aperture may be regulated.

A boot scrubber device is within a floor. The boot scrubber device may include a housing assembly having a frame to be received by the floor and defining an opening, and a plate pivotably coupled to the frame and received within the opening. The plate may define a brush opening. The boot scrubber device may include a belt brush assembly carried by the housing assembly and aligned with the brush opening. The belt brush assembly may include a belt base, and laterally arranged brushes carried by the belt base. The boot scrubber device may also include a motor carried by the housing assembly and configured to drive the belt brush assembly, and a controller carried by the housing assembly and configured to activate the motor when a user steps on the plate.

A footwear washing assembly for automatically washing a pair of shoes includes a washing box to insertably receive a pair of shoes for washing the pair of shoes. A water reservoir is removably attachable to the washing box to contain water for washing the shoes in the washing box and a detergent reservoir is removably attachable to the washing box to contain detergent for washing the shoes in the washing box. A plurality of basal scrubbers and a plurality of lateral scrubbers are each movably integrated into the washing box for scrubbing a sole of the shoes. A plurality of rollers is pivotally attached to the washing box to roll along the support surface. Additionally, a pair of stands is pivotally attached to the washing to support the washing box above the support surface.

A shoe washing machine, including a housing, a washing tub provided in the housing, a pulsator, and a driving part. The shoe washing machine also includes a brush provided on the top center of the pulsator, and the brush is configured to be in a shape that projects upward from the top of the pulsator. When the pulsator rotates, the pulsator can drive the brush to rotate at the same time, so that bristles of the brush can move relative to shoes to rub and brush the shoes, so that by improving the linear smoothness of the brushing surface of the brush, an effect of brushing without damaging the shoes can be achieved, and the probability of the shoes getting stuck by the brush can be reduced.
