Foot washing systems and methods

A foot washing method comprising:

• moveably coupling a basin including a foot-washing area, a drain configured to drain water out of the foot-washing area to a support panel, and a drain cover, wherein the moveably coupling comprises moveably securing the drain cover within a recessed track formed in a base of the basin;
• selectively moving the basin between a stowed position and a deployed position in relation to the support panel, wherein the deployed position allows for foot washing within the foot-washing area;
• covering the drain of the basin with the drain cover of the basin when the basin is in the stowed position;
• and
• using a faucet of the support panel to deliver water into the foot-washing area of the basin in the deployed position.

A vehicle comprising:

• an internal cabin;
• a lavatory within the internal cabin, wherein the lavatory includes a toilet having a bowl;
• and
• a foot washing system within the lavatory, wherein the foot washing system comprises:
• a support panel including a faucet, and a graspable top support handle that is configured to be grasped by an individual for support and stability, wherein the support panel is secured to a wall of the lavatory;
• a basin including a foot-washing area, a drain configured to drain water out of the foot-washing area, and a drain cover configured to cover the drain when the basin is in a stowed position, wherein the drain cover is moveably secured within a recessed track formed in a base of the basin, wherein the basin is pivotally coupled to the support panel, wherein the basin is selectively moveable between the stowed position and a deployed position in relation to the support panel, wherein the deployed position allows for foot washing within the foot-washing area, wherein a base of the basin in the stowed position is parallel with an outer lateral surface of the support panel, and wherein the base of the basin in the deployed position is perpendicular to the outer lateral surface of the support panel, wherein the drain of the basin in the deployed position is configured to be positioned directly over the bowl of the toilet, wherein the basin is positioned away from the toilet in the stowed position, wherein the basin in the deployed position is configured to be directly supported by the bowl of the toilet;
• a securing handle that securely retains the basin in the stowed position, wherein the securing handle is configured to be engaged to release the basin from the stowed position;
• and
• wherein the faucet is configured to deliver water into the foot-washing area of the basin in the deployed position.
