Shoe cleaning assembly

Abstract

A shoe cleaning assembly includes a base including a bottom wall has a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge. The perimeter edge includes a first end edge, a second end edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. A perimeter wall is attached to and extends upwardly from the bottom wall. The perimeter wall is coextensive with the perimeter edge. A dividing wall extends between the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge to form a first compartment and a second compartment fluidly separated from each other. A first panel is positioned in the first compartment and is an absorbent material. The first panel has a fluid absorbed therein. A second panel is positioned in the second compartment and is also an absorbent material. The second panel is dry.
