Follow-up question: do you wash your feet extra or do you also think that the shower gel water below will fix that?

[โ€“] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Assume nothing, wash everything

I want this on a T-shirt.

Feet need to be scrubbed, not rinsed.

When you take a bath you don't just dip yourself for a bit and then get out

But how do you scrub your feet while standing on them

Lame. I jump and scrub toe.

You fucking bet I scrub my feet. I rock climb and as most climbers do I wear my climbing shoes without socks, which also means they collect a ton of dead skin cells and sweat which makes them smell absolutely vile. I spray them all the time with a multitude of bacteria and fungus killing products, even wash them from time to time, but there's no real solution. I just treat them as biohazard when not climbing. So yes, I make an effort to thoroughly scrub my feet to ensure they don't retain the smell and to try to reduce how many dead cells end up in the shoes.

Iโ€™ve got really bad calluses so yeah I usually give them a good rough scrub with a coarse washcloth.

Everything that is below my pp i dont touch. Never have in my life. I just dont get that dirty that often.

I'm 196cm tall. Do you know how far I need to go down to wash them? I trust trickling down soapy water will fix that.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope to never come in close proximity to your feet.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

He's the sole person in many situations!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Do you not have knees? I'm the same height and just bend my leg up to scrub my feet.

Y'all are nasty if you're not scrubbing everything. Soap running down from above isn't going to do much.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Man, maybe that's it! I am 196cm tall too ๐Ÿ™

You can get shower mats with brush parts. No need to fold yourself in half, just shuffle your feet.

[โ€“] Willer 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

unfortunately shower mats are notoriously gross

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Only if you don't clean them in my experience, and they aren't particularly hard to clean. Just give em as good scrub when you clean the shower.

[โ€“] Willer 1 points 2 years ago

aint nobody got time for that

[โ€“] Willer 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

plus tiny shitass shower

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If you don't wash your feet then you are not allowed in my house.

[โ€“] Willer 3 points 2 years ago

i wasnt planning on coming

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you asking all your guests before?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yes it is on the questionnaire, and the interview explicitly covers the definition of "wash your feet" we are using so there can be no confusion.
