Antimicrobial floor mat

A sanitizing mat for sanitization of shoes and other surfaces in contact with a floor, the sanitizing mat comprising:

• a rectangular frame, the rectangular frame having a first edge opposite a second edge, a third edge opposite a fourth edge, and a top surface opposite a bottom surface, wherein the first and second edge are parallel to one another, the third and fourth edge are parallel to one another, and the first and third edges are perpendicular to one another;
• an elevated standing surface above the rectangular frame;
• at least one reservoir in fluid connection with at least one pump, the at least one pump is in fluid communication with a plurality of fluid outlets;
• at least one grate, wherein the at least one grate is pivotally attached to the rectangular frame and the plurality of fluid outlets are between the at least one grate and the rectangular frame;
• at least one sensor configured to detect a user's presence;
• at least one sanitization indicator;
• and
• at least one side housing configured to hold the at least one pump and the at least one reservoir.

A sanitizing mat for sanitization of shoes or other surfaces in contact with a floor, the sanitizing mat comprising:

• a frame that is a rectangular member having two sets of opposing edges;
• a reservoir, the reservoir configured to store a sanitizing fluid;
• a plurality of fluid outlets, wherein the plurality of fluid outlets are diffusers and nozzles;
• a pump, the pump configured to pump fluid from the reservoir to the plurality of fluid outlets;
• an electrical circuit;
• a first bracket affixed to the frame, and a second bracket, wherein the first and second brackets oppose one another, and wherein each first and second bracket has a ramp affixed thereto;
• a center column rotatably affixed to the first and second brackets, the center column having a first face opposite a second face, a first pair of opposing edges and a second set of opposing edges, wherein the first pair of opposing edges are affixed to the first and second brackets and the second set of opposing edges attached to a first and a second grate;
• the first and the second grate are configured to support the feet of a user standing on the first and second grates, each grate having a bottom face and a top face, wherein the first and second grates have a plurality of apertures that allow fluid to pass through the first and second grates, wherein the plurality of fluid outlets are connected to the bottom faces of the first and second grates, wherein the first and second grates form an elevated standing surface above the frame;
• a sensor for detecting the presence of a user, wherein the sensor is configured to detect the presence of the user so that when the user is detected the pump is activated causing fluid to be expelled from the reservoir to the plurality of fluid outlets;
• a removable tray configured to catch debris or liquid, the removable tray located opposite the bottom face of the first and second grates;
• a first side housing member and a second side housing member affixed to the first and second brackets, each side housing further comprising a first and a second compartment, each compartment having a side door pivotally attached, each compartment configured to receive the pump, the reservoir, or the electrical circuit;
• wherein the pump, the reservoir, and the plurality of fluid outlets are in fluid communication with another;
• and
• a sanitization indicator, wherein the sanitization indicator is configured to illuminate once a sanitization event has completed.
