Abstract
An apparatus and method is disclosed for systematically disinfecting shopping carts and other containers utilized in grocery stores by consumers to temporarily carry food items while shopping. The system consists of a hollow, inverted U-shaped housing that defines a cart passageway through which a shopping cart may be passed and disinfected. The system includes internal electrical elements, a fluid reservoir, a pump that pumps disinfecting fluid to several nozzles, a rechargeable battery, and is on wheels so that the system may be operated in an area of choosing independent from a power outlet. For disinfecting, carts are positioned in front of the cart passageway and pushed through while nozzles positioned in the cart passageway are actuated. A fine mist of disinfecting fluid envelopes all surfaces of the cart as it passes through the cart passageway, thereby sanitizing the entire surface area of the cart without accumulating residue.
