A foot-scrubbing apparatus includes a non-porous and rigid base member that has planar top and bottom surfaces and suction cups permanently secured to the bottom surface. A primary sponge includes detachably engageable top and bottom layers defining a cavity therebetween for slidably receiving a user's entire foot. The top and bottom layers have vertically offset front edge portions for assisting the user to insert their foot into the cavity. A plurality of secondary sponges are directly conjoined to the top layer of the primary sponge and extend longitudinally therealong. The secondary sponges are sized and shaped such that a user's toes can be selectively nested between the secondary sponges. The secondary sponges have coarser surface textures than the primary sponge surface texture so that the user can clean tough skin surfaces adjacent to their toes.

What is claimed as new and what is desired to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is: 1. 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. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said primary sponge member is provided with a plurality of apertures spaced along said top layer and passing downwardly to the cavity for impregnating a cleansing agent directly through said top layer and onto said bottom layer of said primary sponge member. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said secondary sponge members are coextensively shaped and include monolithically formed top, side and bottom portions directly secured to said top layer, said top portions having rectilinear shapes extending distally from a front edge of said top layer, said side portions having rectilinear shapes extending downwardly along said front edge of said top layer, said bottom portions extending distally from said front edge of said top layer such that the user's toes may be selectively intercalated between said secondary sponge members by rubbing the user's foot along either said top layer or between said top and bottom layers respectively. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said bottom layer comprises: an arcuate shaped top portion that is coarser than a remaining portion of said primary sponge member, said top portion extending proximally from said front edge of said top layer. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said front edge of said top layer is distally recessed from said front edge of said bottom layer for assisting the user to cleanse a heel portion of the user's foot during operating conditions. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said primary sponge member has monolithically formed side walls for preventing said top and bottom layers from becoming permanently disengaged from each other. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a pumice stone directly connected to said base member and provided with a top surface laterally offset subjacent said top layer so that the user can quickly and effectively rub a bottom surface of the user's foot along said pumice stone without directly contacting said primary and secondary sponge members. 8. 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; 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; and wherein said secondary sponge members have surface textures which are more coarse than a surface texture of said primary sponge member so that the user can effectively clean tough skin surfaces adjacent the user's toes. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising: a pumice stone directly connected to said base member and provided with a top surface laterally offset subjacent said top layer so that the user can quickly and effectively rub a bottom surface of the user's foot along said pumice stone without directly contacting said primary and secondary sponge members. 10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said primary sponge member is provided with a plurality of apertures spaced along said top layer and passing downwardly to the cavity for impregnating a cleansing agent directly through said top layer and onto said bottom layer of said primary sponge member. 11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said secondary sponge members are coextensively shaped and include monolithically formed top, side and bottom portions directly secured to said top layer, said top portions having rectilinear shapes extending distally from a front edge of said top layer, said side portions having rectilinear shapes extending downwardly along said front edge of said top layer, said bottom portions extending distally from said front edge of said top layer such that the user's toes may be selectively intercalated between said secondary sponge members by rubbing the user's foot along either said top layer or between said top and bottom layers respectively. 12. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said bottom layer comprises: an arcuate shaped top portion that is coarser than a remaining portion of said primary sponge member, said top portion extending proximally from said front edge of said top layer. 13. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said front edge of said top layer is distally recessed from said front edge of said bottom layer for assisting the user to cleanse a heel portion of the user's foot during operating conditions. 14. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said primary sponge member has monolithically formed side walls for preventing said top and bottom layers from becoming permanently disengaged from each other.
