The door mat is a dry disinfection apparatus. The door mat comprises a pedestal, a sheeting pad, and a disinfecting substance. The disinfecting substance forms a coating on the sheeting pad. The sheeting pad mounts on the pedestal. The door mat is used by having a person step on the sheeting pad of the door mat during the normal walking process. The disinfecting substance chemically reacts with microorganisms found on the exterior surface of the footwear (or foot) placed on the sheeting pad. This chemical reaction mitigates the risk of subsequent contamination.
