How often should you wash your feet? People tend to skip this important personal hygiene task because they are under the assumption that getting their feet wet and soapy in the shower is good enough. However, according to Velimir Petkov, DPM, a New Jersey-based podiatrist, you should wash your feet daily.

"Your feet get covered with bacteria much like the rest of your body. They can also get sweaty if you wear closed shoes or collect dust and dirt if you walk around barefoot," he says. "Failing to wash them thoroughly can cause unpleasant smell, a staph infection, athlete's foot, and plantar warts."
