Claim:
A foot-scrubbing apparatus for promoting personal hygiene, said apparatus comprising: a non-porous and rigid base member formed from non-corrosive and water-impermeable material, said base member having planar top and bottom surfaces; a plurality of suction cups directly and permanently secured to said bottom surface of said base member, said suction cups being detachably engageable directly to a moist support surface so that said apparatus can be maintained at a static position without requiring the user to bend over and hold said apparatus in place during operating conditions; a primary sponge member including detachably engageable top and bottom layers defining a cavity therebetween for receiving a user's foot along a longitudinal axis of said apparatus, the cavity being sized and shaped such that the user's entire foot can be slidably inserted between said top and bottom layers while maintaining continuous surface area contact therewith and cleaning an entire surface area of the user's foot, said top and bottom layers having vertically offset front edge portions for assisting the user to insert the user's foot into the cavity during repeated use; and a plurality of secondary sponge members directly conjoined to said top layer of said primary sponge member and longitudinally extending along a partial length of said top layer, said secondary sponge members being sized and shaped such that a user's toes can be selectively nested between said secondary sponge members during a linear and longitudinal sliding movement along said top layer.
