    Abstract: A decontamination system with a water inlet to receive water from a water source, and a disinfectant inlet to receive disinfectant from a disinfectant source. A dispenser mixes the disinfectant with the water, according to a desired concentration, to produce a disinfectant solution. A supply valve releases a desired amount of the disinfectant solution. A reservoir with a substantially open top receives the desired amount of disinfectant solution. A mat within the reservoir is adapted to be stood upon by a user and remain substantially in place within the reservoir while the user scrubs the soles of shoes worn by the user against the mat. An overflow valve on a sidewall of the reservoir allows disinfectant solution within the reservoir to flow out of the reservoir when the disinfectant solution attains a desired depth within the reservoir.
