ABSTRACT:
A shoe sanitizer and method for sanitizing shoes are disclosed. The shoe sanitizer includes a platform having a raised central portion and two lowered side portions which are on opposite sides of and adjacent to the central portion. The central portion and the two side portions have respective reservoirs with open upper ends. Absorbent pads are placed in each of the reservoirs. A sanitizing solution is placed in the reservoir of the central portion and saturates the respective absorbent pad. The absorbent pads located in the reservoirs of the side portions of the platform are dry. A person sanitizes the bottom of a pair of shoes he is wearing by first placing a lower portion of one shoe in the reservoir of the central portion and wetting the bottom of the shoe with the sanitizing solution. Then, the shoe is removed from the sanitizing solution and placed into the one of the reservoirs of the two side portions which corresponds to the foot on which the shoe being treated is worn. The bottom of the shoe is pressed against an absorbent pad to transfer the sanitizing solution from the shoe to the absorbent pad, drying the shoe. This process is repeated for the shoe being worn on the other foot of the user, utilizing the central reservoir to apply the sanitizing solution and the reservoir of the other of the two side portions to absorb the sanitizing solution and dry the second shoe.
