a base having a bottom side adapted for laying on a floor surface, a top side, two side edges, a front edge, and a rear edge, the two side edges being single continuous members spanning between the front edge and the rear edge, the front edge and the rear edge being single, continuous members spanning between the two side edges;

the top side of the base having one or more cleaning spaces adapted for receiving the person's shoes;

a planar wiping surface on the top side of the base, the planar wiping surface being adjacent the one or more cleaning spaces and operable for a user to wipe a bottom surface of the person's shoes;

a sanitizing circuit including a power source, one or more UV sanitizing lamps each disposed within or about the base for illuminating the person's shoes, and a switch for applying power to the one or more UV sanitizing lamps;

whereby with the person standing with the person's shoes in the one or more cleaning spaces and activating the switch, the one or more UV sanitizing lamps activate to sanitize the person's shoes,

the mat further including an at least partially non-opaque shoe pod adapted to fit around the person's shoes, the at least partially non-opaque shoe pod having a non-opaque bottom member formed integrally with solid side members, the solid side members extending to meet and form a top surface of the at least partially non-opaque shoe pod, the top surface being opaque to prevent light from exiting above the at least partially non-opaque shoe pod, the non-opaque bottom member, the solid side members and the top surface defining an open space therebetween for receiving the person's shoes, and

the planar wiping surface is disposed within the top side of the base and has a size to permit wiping both of the person's shoes manually thereover simultaneously.
