Method 1 Washing feet.
1. Scrubbing feet. A quick soapy scrub in the bath is not enough. The purpose of washing your feet is to remove bacteria and dead skin from your feet, so wash your feet with a towel or brush or anything else rough to remove the dead skin from every corner of your feet, while using an antibacterial soap. Don’t forget to scrub the toe crevices.
2. Dry your feet. Dry your feet thoroughly. Dampness, whether it’s water or sweat, tends to breed bacteria. Take the time to dry your feet thoroughly, and don’t forget to dry your toe crevices.
3, use disinfectant hand sanitizer. A good disinfectant hand sanitizer can kill bacteria on your feet and inhibit the growth of bacteria.
4. Use an antiperspirant. The same antiperspirant used for your armpits is also suitable for your feet. Apply it to clean, dry feet at night and put on socks and shoes as usual in the morning. This will keep your feet dry and fresh.
Antiperspirants react with the electrolytes in the sweat produced by the sweat glands and block the sweat holes. With more than 250,000 sweat glands on each foot, more than anywhere else on the body, a little antiperspirant can be effective in reducing sweat production.
Do not use antiperspirant externally before you are about to go out, or your feet will easily slip inside your shoes.
5. 1/2 common vinegar and 1/2 isopropyl alcohol mix. Dab your feet and fingertips daily and spread it. These 2 products are not harmful to the skin, where vinegar can kill fungus and alcohol can inhibit or kill bacteria. The same can be done to remove the fungus that touches your toes.
You can also soak your feet in 1/2 vinegar + 1/2 water, which will keep the stink away. Adding a little baking soda and a few drops of thyme oil can help remove the odor.
6. Put the following powder on your feet, including the toe joints. These powders can resist the odor.
Talcum powder (talcum powder). An astringent that dries the feet.
Baking soda. Creates an alkaline environment that is not conducive to bacterial growth.
Cornstarch. Helps absorb sweat.
Method 2 Shoe freshening.
1. Wear sandals or shoes with open toes. Helps to circulate and cool the air on the feet, thus stopping the overproduction of sweat.
When it is cold, you can wear leather or canvas shoes to help your feet breathe. Try not to wear rubber or plastic shoes.
2. Change your socks every day. Socks can help absorb sweat. If you put on dirty socks the next day, it will cause the sweat temperature to rise, resulting in an unpleasant smell. Change your socks every day, especially if your feet sweat a lot.
Unless you wear open shoes, you should always wear socks. Wearing 2 pairs of socks will help absorb the sweat from your feet.
When you wash your socks, turn the inside out and wash them so that the dead skin on the inside of the socks is easily washed off.
Choose cotton or wool socks with good absorbency. Artificial nylon socks with poor absorbency can easily lead to the accumulation of sweat on the feet, which can breed bacteria.
3. Use baking soda daily for shoes and socks. Before applying fresh baking soda externally, you need to remove the old baking soda left from yesterday. Baking soda can absorb moisture and absorb odor.
4.Use cedar or clove to make shoes fresh. When the shoes are not worn, put cedar pieces or whole cloves into the shoes for several days, and the smell dissipates.
5.Use cedar wood insoles. Natural cedarwood essential oil has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effects.
6, shoes in rotation. Wear the shoes to dry thoroughly, usually need at least 24 hours, the shoes will be completely dry.
When not worn, take out the insoles to facilitate the drying of shoes. Crumple the newspaper and stuff it inside the shoes overnight to help the shoes dry.
7. Wash shoes regularly. Many shoes can be washed in the washing machine, before wearing to ensure that the shoes are thoroughly dry.
8, often take off shoes. Only when resting, when no one is paying attention, you can take off your shoes to help shoes and feet dry.
9.Use a shoe dryer. There are some low-powered shoe and boot dryers on the market, which thoroughly dry damp shoes through air convection.
Method 3 Home remedies.
1, use bleach. 1 tbsp bleach + 1 liter water. Soak for 5-10 minutes, once a week. If you feel dry skin, you can apply baby oil topically.

2. Tea soaking. 1 time a week, 30 minutes each time. The tannic acid in tea can help dry the skin.
3.Use salt water. Half a cap of coarse-grained salt + 1 liter of water. After soaking, no need to wash, just dry thoroughly.
4.Use aluminum acetate. Helps to dry the feet thoroughly. Mix 1 packet of aluminum nitrate powder or 2 tablespoons of aluminum acetate solution + 1/4 pound of water. Soak for 10-20 minutes at a time.
5.Mix with baking soda. 1 tbsp of baking soda + 1 liter of water. Make the skin alkaline and inhibit the growth of bacteria.
