End Stinky Feet The Easy Way

End Stinky Feet The Easy Way

Do people pass right out when you remove your shoes or socks?  Maybe your feet stink!  It’s easy and cheap to cure your stinky feet.

Whenever you remove your shoes, remove your socks too.  even if you are only changing shoes, also change your socks .

Are your socks made of synthetic materials?  These will hold the stink in longer. Consider buying only cotton socks. If your feet get cold easily, then buy 100% wool socks. Wool socks keep your feet warm, even when they are wet and they breath better than synthetics.

Wash your feet. Well this seems obvious enough. If you shower all the time, maybe you aren’t taking care to wash your feet enough. If you shower in a tub, plug up the tub while you shower, letting the tub fill up while you shower. Turn off the shower, now sit on the edge of the tub, thoroughly washing each foot with liberal amounts of soap. Drain the tub, rinse your feet. You may want to rinse them sitting down, as the soap may make your feet super slippery.

If you have a regular shower stall, then consider buying a foot soaking tub or two buckets big enough to hold each foot.  You can fill it up while showering, letting your feet soak at the same time, then wash them thoroughly.

After you have thoroughly washed your feet, soak a clean washcloth in water, then squeeze all the water out again. Now soak the wash cloth with hydrogen peroxide.  Wash one foot thoroughly with the hydrogen peroxide, taking care to get between each and every toe.

Rinse the wash cloth out completely, squeeze out excess water. Now soak with hydrogen peroxide again.  Wash the other foot. Dry both feet thoroughly Bacteria loves moisture.  Repeat the hydrogen peroxide foot washing routine at least daily, until your feet stop stinking.

Always make sure your feet are thoroughly dry, before putting on socks or shoes.

Buy some baking soda.  Use a spoon to sprinkle baking soda in your sock before you put it on. Use the spoon to sprinkle baking soda in each shoe. Shake the shoe, to spread the baking soda around the sole.  This works with sandals and house slippers too. Use baking soda in all your shoes.

Your feet will feel refreshed, the baking soda will absorb the sweat, helping to prevent stinky feet.

Try to rotate your shoes around. Avoid wearing the same pair day after day. If you are forced to wear the same pair every day, sprinkle baking soda in them every time you remove them. Put them somewhere they can air out, such as outdoors in the bright sunshine. Sun is a natural sterilizer, often removing offending odors for you.

You can also put them near a heating or air-conditioning vent, so air blows around them, helping to dry them out. 

If you like to wear house slippers, try to afford two pairs, so you can rotate those around too. Check the labels, these are often washable. If yours are washable, throw them in the laundry weekly. One way to remember to rotate your house shoes, is have one color or style for odd numbered days and one color or style for even numbered  days.  Occasionally at the end of the month you may end up wearing the same pair twice, but otherwise your shoes or slippers  will be rotating.

If you have calluses on your feet, they will very often hold in bacteria, because calluses are porous. If you can afford it, get a pedicure. Pedicures aren’t just for women.  Yes, real men get pedicures, so don’t be shy. Many discount stores  have a manicure and pedicure salon.

Otherwise, you can soak your feet, then shave the callouses off with various callus removers from the personal care department.  Always soak your feet before attempting to remove calluses. This softens them up considerably.

Basically, soap, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide may be all you need to kill your stinky foot odor once and for all.
