Features in our shoe cabinetÂ
Rotatory Brushes:
Rotatory brushes that move in a 360-degree direction would effectively clean dirt and stains from shoes. The ability to rotate in all directions ensures thorough cleaning.
Detachable Brushes:
Detachable brushes allow for easy cleaning and replacement. Users can maintain the cleaning performance by periodically replacing worn-out brushes.
Adjustable Shoe Clamps:
Adjustable shoe clamps accomodates various shoe sizes and styles. This feature ensures that the device can clean a wide range of footwear, from sneakers to boots.
UV Sterilization Compartment:
The UV-C light compartment for sterilization can effectively kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses, promoting hygiene and preventing odors in shoes.
Safety Features:
The UV-C light only operates when the compartment is closed to prevent user exposure to harmful UV radiation. This was created by adding a kill switch to the circuit.
Disinfectant:
Disinfectant would be sprayed at regular time intervals in the cabinet to keep the shoes fresh and add an extra level of protection from germs.
User-Friendly Controls:
Buttons are available on the shoe cabinet with some preset cleaning durations and UV sterilisation periods.
Compact Design:
The shoe cleaner is designed to look like a cabinet that has a wooden exterior for a more stylish look.
