How Often Should You Wash Your Feet?

Our feet are home to many tiny living things called bacteria. These bacteria can make our feet smell bad if we don't clean them. Doctors say we should wash our feet every day with soap and water. This helps remove sweat and dirt.

Washing feet is important to stop smelly feet and prevent foot problems. People with diabetes need to be extra careful and wash their feet daily. For most people, washing feet every few days is enough. Remember to dry your feet well, especially between your toes, to avoid fungal infections.
