Then scrape in the grass until there is space around the bucket of water, the bucket will have a long handled scrub brush for a more detailed removal of the mud on your shoes, At this time you work on the top as well as the bottom. Rinse the brush as often as you need to in order to have the clean shininess of your shoe to show.
Next wipe and stomp on the first matt at the bottom of the stairs, scuff the potential drippings off at this time. Do use you eyes, if the matt is extremely dirty you will only compound your problem and need to return to the bucket step.
After this step, you just need to do a neat and tidy scuff of your shoes on the top step with the clean matt and enter the church. Or home, or store. Whatever. Unfortunately you need to repeat this process every time you go outside and take one step on a wet and muddy day.
