Stinky feet

[mkjuk]

I have been offered 3 solutions to stinking feet

1 soak in white spirits
2 soak in own urine
3 soak in 3 parts hot water to one part bleach

Does anyone have any other suggestions or comments?

Thanks

Lavender And Aloe Vera act as a deodorizer for feet

white spirits are an irritant and should not be used on skin.

[Ice-Maiden]

true - but a dab of it before hiking can toughen the skin and prevent blisters.

surgical spirits are used to help this problem(i thought that was the same as white spirits but could be wrong). You do not soak the feet in them though. You apply to some cotton wool and run the pads over your feet. Probably every 2nd or 3rd day or you might some drying to the feet.

Why don't u just wash them?

Dettol!

If they are really stinky it could be athletes foot which requires treatment. See your doctor.

If your feet are that smelly you are either a tramp/vagrant or you have a medical condition so I would go to the docs.

Mkjuk - just wash your feet, wear cotton socks - and failing that, buy some foot deodorizer from the chemists. Belt up about stinky feet!

Potassium permanganate (spelling?). Get a small container from over the chemists counter. Dissolve about a match head size amount in a bowl of water about 1 inch deep. The water will be bright purple, pop your feet in and soak them for about 10 mins, colour of water will change to a reddish hue. Take feet out, dry on an old towel. Don't have the water too deep as it can cause slight discolouration and you dont want it to show. Do this for a few days in a row. Don't spill the water whatever you do. This is an old fashioned remedy and it does work. If you need some advice, best go to an old traditional independent chemist, you probably know the sort I mean.

baking soda is a great deodoriser-shake some in your socks and shoes.....may help keep the stinkies at bay!
