  • Patent number: 5173985
    Abstract: A foot mounted scrubber device is provided for use in scrubbing and cleaning selected problem areas of a floor, and along adjacent baseboard surfaces and the like. The scrubber device comprises a relatively flat sole plate, in combination with a toe upper and an elastic heel strap for securely mounting the sole plate onto a shoe in a position underlying the ball region and toes of a user's foot. The sole plate defines an abrasive scrubber surface which can be applied against a problem area to be cleaned through the use of the leg muscles in combination with the user's body weight. In a preferred form, the sole plate and toe upper cooperatively define a pointed forward toe lined with an abrasive scrubber material for use in cleaning baseboard surfaces and corners and the like along the edge of the floor.
