Abstract

A shoe disinfecting device has a base and a lid defining an interior compartment to hold liquid disinfecting solution. The lid is upwardly biased (e.g., spring loaded) from a compressed position to an extended position and includes openings for passage of solution between the interior and a lid upper surface. Pressurization of the solution within the interior, responsive to forces depressing the lid from the extended to the compressed position, causes expelling of the solution through the openings and onto the upper surface. Upon release of the depressing force, biasing of the lid from the depressed to the extended position creates a vacuum within the interior and pulls remaining solution from the upper surface back into the interior. A removable disinfecting liquid container is in fluid communication with the interior via a liquid pump controlled to pump solution from the container to maintain sufficient quantities of solution within the interior.
