Abstract
The present invention uses rotating cleaning rollers with cleaning fabric carrying cleaning liquid to clean shoe soles. The cleaning fabric, after wiping the shoe soles, is squeezed by a scraper so the used cleaning liquid is separated from the cleaning fabric to be filtered before reusing. The cleaning fabric can be made of different materials to fit the various types of building entrances. After the shoe soles are cleaned by the wet rollers, they may be dried by the drying rollers next to the cleaning rollers.
