And don’t worry, you won’t have to travel to the depths of the earth to find Borax. It’s actually sold in most grocery stores or online. With this simple recipe, you’ll be able to send those nasty odors packing in no time.

The Lowdown on Borax

Before we get into how to make the perfect foot soak mixture, let’s talk a little about what exactly borax is.

Borax is also known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate or disodium tetraborate. Bet you never heard those words before! No worries friendo – they just mean it’s a natural mineral containing both salt and boric acid.

But why use borax? Well believe it or not, people have been using borax for centuries because it has cleaning properties similar but gentle enough than harsher chemicals like bleach.

Why Our Feet Smell Bad?

Wonder why our feet smell bad? Yes ‘bacteria baby, baby!’ Bacteria love warm spots – like inside our sweaty shoes!! They munch away at our dead skin cells enjoying their picnic while at work creating CO2 and other lovely gases which create unpleasant smells trapped nicely within our socks/shoes combo.

So what do we need? Something that can stop these bacteria from making smelly compounds!

We’re going to add more heat here with some hot water…but trust me–it’ll be worth it.

The Method

Here’s the recipe for the perfect Borax foot soak:

Equipment

  • A large basin or a plastic tub
  • A cup/bucket (big enough to scoop out water upstairs)
  • Two towels, one dry and warm
  • A dose of ‘Groovy’ music in your headphones – optional!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of borax

  • Enough hot water to fill up your tub so that your feet can soak up till ankles.

Now let’s make this happen! Follow these steps:

  1. Fill a basin with enough super-dooper-hot water that it reaches just above your ankle.

  2. Add two recipe-perfectly-measured-tablespoons of borax.

  3. Let the Borax get dissolved in the hot water completely before you dip those smelly feet into it so as not to miss all its genius benefits.

  4. Stir well using something like a spoon until there is no grit visible inside anymore.

  5. Pour yourself some chilled soda – kidding!! Seriously though, pour yourself more tap water in another bucket nearby because sometimes you might require fresh cold sip when enjoying this relaxing process!

  6. Now sit back (if possible stretch legs on sofa) and dip both stinky little babies into the basket filled with goodness .

Stay put while they bask themselves under the spell for about thirty-eight minutes, Why thirty-eight? Why not twenty-five or fifty? Well why do we light candles on birthdays?! It’s just what we used from trial-and-error experience which worked best.

After time flies by like it always does, stand up slowly without preplanning any magic moves if possible(wait that step’s extra medicine) once ready; grab hold of warmed/dry towel and pat feet gently ever-so-gently till leaves are left soaked/saturated wetness free..

Tips for Success

Here are some tips to make the most out of your borax foot soak:

  1. Be CONSISTENT! Schedule foot soaks into your self-care routine at least once a week, preferably more, because like any hygiene habit consistent efforts lead best results.

  2. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your add-ins. You can try adding apple cider vinegar or essential oils like peppermint for extra scent benefits.

  3. Keep doing it even if you don’t feel any magical changes in beginning and remember every action has its reaction and final result!

4.Last but not least…finally, congratulations!! You now know how to create an ingenious borax solution that will fight all smelly odor on the surface level.
