TIPS FOR MAINTAINING

FOOT HEALTH

1. SOAK YOUR FEET
If your foot odour is noticeable, you can
try soaking your feet to give them a deep

cleaning. Let your feet soak for up to 20
minutes once a week. Vinegar also helps to
remove bacteria from your feet. You shouldn’t
soak your feet if you have any open wounds
or sores.

2. KEEP YOUR FEET DRY

Bacteria live in moist areas, so keeping your
feet dry will help cut back on foot odour. You
can apply talcum powder to your feet to soak
up any wetness or sweat.

3.PRACTICE GOOD HYGIENE
You should wash your feet every day. You can
wash them as you shower, or you can scrub
them in a tub with warm water. You should

also clean and trim your toenails. This can
also help to reduce places where bacteria
like to live on your feet.

4.TAKE CARE OF YOUR FOOTWEAR
You should air out your shoes. In addition,
you can wash the insoles of your shoes to

help them smell better. Another way to help
reduce foot odour is by using a disinfectant
spray on your shoes and letting them air
dry. This will kill off any bacteria living in your
shoes.
