A footwear sanitization system or floormat which may have one or more zones to. The zones may include a disinfecting zone, a drying zone, a scraping zone that are used to perform different procedures on the footwear for the purposes of cleaning or sanitizing the footwear when the footwear is in or on the zone.

There is provided a shoe sole cleaning device (10) comprising a lower tray (20) having a bottom wall (22) and one or more side walls (24) which define a first compartment (V1) for cleaning liquid, and an upper tray (30) having a bottom wall (32) and one or more side walls (34) which define a second compartment (V2) for pebbles or crushed stone. The upper tray (30) is shaped and dimensioned such that at least a part thereof is accommodated in the first compartment (V1) of the lower tray (20). The upper tray (30) includes one or more holes (36) communicate between the first and second compartments (V1, V2).

Disclosed herein are novel shoe cleaning devices for cleaning the soles of shoes. The shoe cleaning devices include a base including a pump bay and a pump located within the pump bay; a top body disposed above and secured to the base, the top body including one or more connection port recesses and a fluid cartridge aperture; a cover, the cover including a wet area aperture, a fluid port array disposed around the wet area aperture, a dry area aperture, and one or more connection ports configured to mate with the one or more connection port recesses; and a fluid cartridge in fluid communication with the pump and the fluid port array such that operation of the pump causes fluid to flow from the fluid cartridge, through the connection ports and out the fluid port array.

The present invention relates to sanitization devices and methods. More particularly, the invention relates to devices and methods that significantly reduce or eliminate germs, bacteria and/or other microorganisms from objects such as bags, purses, footwear or other objects, as well as bare feet, hands, paws, hooves or other anatomical surfaces, which come into contact with them. The device and method uses germicidal radiation which exposes only the areas of the object that come into applied contact with the device. The device contains an array of individual cells which are configured to turn on and off sanitizing radiation. The devices may be interconnected to fill a large area such as a lobby, the floor of a hospital and the like.

A footwear sanitization system or floormat which may have one or more zones to. The zones may include a disinfecting zone, a drying zone, a scraping zone that are used to perform different procedures on the footwear for the purposes of cleaning or sanitizing the footwear when the footwear is in or on the zone.

A door mat includes a body having an inclined top surface and a visual indicator defined in the inclined top surface having a first visual appearance from a first view of the door mat and a second visual appearance from a second view of the door mat.

An apparatus for cleaning, sanitizing and/or disinfecting footwear. The apparatus comprises a set of brushes defining a footwear receiving space. A plurality of water carrying channels are provided for directing water into the footwear receiving space through said set of brushes. A soiled water receiving tank is provided for collecting soiled water from the footwear receiving space. The apparatus is arranged such that relative movement of a piece of footwear received in the footwear receiving space with respect to the set of brushes in the presence of water being directed into the footwear receiving space via the plurality of water carrying channels cleans at least one surface of the received piece of footwear.
