  • Publication number: 20220401595
    Abstract: A sanitizing booth includes integrally formed upper and lower body structures attached to one another to collectively define a compartment interior space. The lower body structure has side walls collectively defining an enclosed reservoir cavity for receiving a sanitizing solution therein. A first conduit extends from the ceiling of the upper body structure into the reservoir cavity. At least one second conduit extends downward from the ceiling along the interior surface of the compartment body. At least one sprayer is attached to the at least one second conduit for spraying the sanitizing solution. A pump arrangement in fluid communication with the first conduit and the at least one second conduit is configured to selectively and controllably draw the sanitizing solution from the reservoir cavity through the first conduit and pass it through the at least one second conduit and the at least one sprayer into the compartment interior space.
