A shoe cleaning device, comprising:

• an enclosure having a housing and a lid movably coupled thereto, said housing having a bottom surface, an opposed upper surface, and at least one side wall extending between said bottom surface and said upper surface and configured such that said housing defines an internal space therein;
• a separation platform adjacent said upper surface of said housing;
• a scrubber member that includes a base member having upper and lower surfaces, said scrubber member having a handle coupled to said scrubber member upper surface;
• at least one retention member arranged at said base member upper surface, wherein said retention member is configured to retain a sanitary wipe therein;
• wherein
• said upper surface of said housing defines a recess extending downwardly toward said housing bottom surface, said separation platform being positioned in said recess, and wherein said scrubber member base includes a configuration that is complementary to a configuration of said housing recess such that said scrubber member is selectively received in said housing recess and supported on said separation platform.

A method for cleaning shoes, comprising the steps of:

• providing an enclosure having a housing and a lid movably coupled thereto, said housing having a bottom surface, an opposed upper surface, and at least one side wall extending between said bottom and upper surface and configured such that said housing defines an internal space therein, wherein said enclosure includes a separation platform adjacent said upper surface;
• providing a scrubber member that includes a base member having upper and lower surfaces, said scrubber member having a handle coupled to said scrubber member upper surface;
• providing a retention member arranged at said base member upper surface, wherein said retention member is configured to retain a sanitary wipe therein;
• removing a sanitary wipe from said housing internal space and positioning said sanitary wipe at least partially atop said separation platform;
• and
• placing the scrubber member on top of said sanitary wipe;
• wrapping the sanitary wipe upward and onto said scrubber member and pressing at least part of said sanitary wipe to fit into said retention member.
