How to Disinfect Shoes, Socks & Floors After Athlete’s Foot 🧼👟🧦
So you treated athlete’s foot… but it came back. 😩 That’s because most people forget to disinfect the places fungus hides — like shoes, socks, and bathroom floors. Let’s fix that.
👟 Disinfecting Shoes
Fungus loves damp, dark sneakers. Here’s how to kill it:
-
Spray the insides with antifungal spray or 70% alcohol
-
Use a UV shoe sanitizer (like SteriShoe) if you have one
-
Rotate your shoes daily — don’t wear the same pair 2 days in a row
🧦 Washing Socks & Laundry
-
Wash socks and towels on hot (140°F+)
-
Add vinegar or borax to kill spores
-
Dry on high heat — never reuse damp fabrics!
🧽 Cleaning Floors & Showers
-
Spray bathroom floors with bleach or hydrogen peroxide
-
Wash foot mats or use a silicone mat you can sanitize daily
-
Don’t go barefoot on shared surfaces while healing
💡 Pro Tip:
Even if your feet look better, fungus can linger invisibly. Keep disinfecting for 1–2 weeks after symptoms fade.
