How to make Listerine Vinegar Sugar Scrub For the Softest Feet Ever.
Here’s how to make Listerine vinegar sugar scrub for the softest feet ever (and a doctor’s advice on the best method).
How to make Listerine vinegar sugar scrub for soft feet:
I am a believer in using a Listerine vinegar sugar scrub for soft feet. If you love the Listerine vinegar foot soak that I write about in this viral blog post, you will absolutely love this DIY Listerine vinegar foot scrub! It costs pennies to make with ingredients that I keep on hand, and it feels so fab and refreshing when massaged onto feet and legs. It is also a good scrub for elbows, knees, and other areas that are prone to dryness.
What makes Listerine and vinegar good for feet?
In my viral post about the Listerine vinegar foot soak, Dr. Jo Herzog discussed the beneficial properties of Listerine and vinegar. Thymol (in Listerine) can kill bacteria and fungi, and acetic acid (in vinegar) has antibacterial properties. Used together, they can soften dry skin, and can possibly eliminate mild athlete’s foot.
Which is better, a foot soak or a foot scrub?
For keeping feet soft and smooth, I use both a foot soak and a foot scrub. When I pamper my feet at home or give myself a pedicure, I start with the Listerine vinegar foot soak and follow with the scrub. It is cool, tingly, and so refreshing. I keep a jar of the scrub in the shower and try to use it several times a week. The more often I use it, the softer my feet stay.
Dr. Jo’s prescription for soft, smooth feet.
I recently bought this Ebanel 40 % Urea cream + 2% salicylic acid that received high ratings on amazon. I texted Dr. Jo and asked her if it would be beneficial for feet. She responded yes IF used the best way for optimal results. In the video below, I share her easy method to get the softest feet possible.
Give the Listerine vinegar foot scrub as a gift.

Hi, I would not put on the face!!!!
Hi ! I saw your post and I wondered, Can you put this on your face ?
I just did this on my feet and hands and I simply can’t believe the difference in just 1 use! My feet and hands feel so AMAZING! And for the record I used the blue listerine in it and for about 30 minutes and my feet and toe nails DID NOT turn blue. I will continue doing this. Thank you so very much for sharing.
Hi Linda, I think the Foot Mate system might be helpful to you. I link to it in the “Soft Smooth Feet” section of my amazon page. Click here and you should see it. https://www.amazon.com/shop/familysavvy?listId=KUXUJWZ8E5OE I also suggest using the tea tree oil products for additional cleaning. Let me know if I can help in any other way!!!
I dont have a problem with dry calluses feet. My problem is I have trouble reaching my feet to wash them, old bones and joints. Plus my feet are extra sensitive to touch of any kind. My feet are always dirty because of this so there appears to be crusted on dry skin. When I’m able to wash them I use a brush and foot scrub and usually most of it comes off, but within a week it’s back. Will the listerine vinegar soak help eliminate this problem?
Hi Janet!!! The scrub lasts about 3 months for me (that’s using it 1-2 x per week). And the “results” of soft feet after using the scrub last (for me) about 2 weeks. Hope this helps!!!! XoXo
How long is scrub good for?
CJ, thanks for sharing this detailed description of your foot soak! Sounds like you have it worked out to a science:-) Thanks so much for sharing this with the rest of us!!!
Get a dish tub (few dollars@ big box stores) a gallon of cheap white vinegar, the LARGE off brand of the antiseptic mouthwash of the GOLD variety. Heat 4 cups of water, pour that into the dish tub (my size 10 feet fit great) add to this hot water: 4 c. Vinegar, 4 c. GOLD antiseptic mouthwash. You now have enough to SOAK your feet in. I do this outdoors as this is a smelly concoction! I rub my feet against themselves and enjoy this warm soak for 30 minutes, then I use a foot dry skin “grater, file” to sluff off the dead skin, finishing up with an old washcloth to smooth off the skin from the whole foot. Then I hose them down and dry them! Plus I pour the mixture over weeds…lol…it kills them and won’t harm humans or animals who walk on the weeds, BONUS!!!!!!! Oh, no blue feet either =)
