Abstract
A bath mat includes a raised foot pad area having bristles on an upper surface and an enclosed refillable bladder containing liquid soap fitting within the under surface below the foot pad. Foot pressure causes soap to be released through tubular passages in the bladder engaging corresponding passages in the foot pad. Feet may be cleaned by scrubbing on the bristles without having to bend over or use the hands. The mat includes water drain holes and suction cups on the bottom of the mat and bladder which hold the components in place.
