ABSTRACT:
A foot hygiene device is provided which comprises a foundation member, a ventral brush supported by the foundation member for applying a scrubbing force to a ventral surface of the foot upon movement of the foot thereagainst; a lateral brush assembly supported by the foundation member for applying a scrubbing force to at least one lateral surface of the foot upon movement of the foot thereagainst, the lateral brush assembly extending upwardly from the foundation member so as to be substantially normally disposed to the foundation member; and a dorsal brush for applying a scrubbing force to a dorsal surface of the foot on movement of the foot thereagainst, the dorsal brush supported by a distal end portion of the lateral brush assembly a selected distance from the vertical brush so as to form a substantially unrestricted passageway therebetween. A plurality of digital brushes are supported by the dorsal brush and extend a selected distance into the passageway formed between the dorsal brush and the ventral brush such that upon movement of the foot in the to and fro direction the digital brushes can be selectively positioned between digits on the foot to clean therebetween.
