Listerine Foot Soak....yes it does work

So, a while back I saw this thing on Pinterest, pinned it and never thought of it again.  Later on, a neighbor said when they to camping he'll sometimes take Listerine and pour it around the camp site to keep (um I forgot if it was mosquito's or animals) out.  That reminded me of the foot soak, so I decided to give it a go.

What you'll need:

• Vinegar - I used white, but if you google some people use apple cider vinegar.
• Listerine - any color, though I think most said they used blue....and I opted for the store brand.
• Water
• Measuring cup - for the above liquids.
• A container large enough for your feet.  I don't have a foot spa & at the time, this Pyrex dish was the only thing I could think of that would fit both of my feet in it.

Optional items: 

• Foot file - You can find my review on this HERE....you can also use a pumice stone, but I love my file.
• Lotion - Body Butter or foot cream.  Something that'll moisturize the new skin.  
• Socks - I used some moisture socks that I got at Christmas, but any would work.

You'll also need a towel unless you do this outside because it can get messy.

What I did was measure 1/4 cup of Listerine(I've used both green and the blue at diff times), 1/4 cup of Vinegar, and 1/2 cup of water(I used hot water so my feet would be warm).  You can double, triple, quadruple, whatever...the recipe as needed for your feet and/or the container.  As you'll see below, I used a different container both times I've done this.

The liquid is there, trust me.

Both times I did this at my desk.  I soaked my feet for 10 minutes.  Most of the posts I've found online state that you can just easily wipe the dead skin away.  I pulled out my file and went to town.  Let me just tell you it removed way more than using the file alone and way more than if I were to go get a pedicure.  I was amazed at how much it removed.  

I also kept a damp rag nearby to remove anything that stuck to my feet.  Apply lotion, socks, and you're done.  I find that I can do this once a week if needed or even once every two weeks. 

Give it a try, let me know how it works for you.  

Side note:  I think I remember some people saying the Listerine stained their feet, I had no issue as it came off when I removed the dead skin with the file.
