Question

Is it best to do footcare on dry or wet feet?


Answer

This is a question often asked at footcare courses. Feet are done either dry or wet depending on your training and your preference.

Just remember, if feet are soaked prior to footcare the nails become softer and other surrounding tissue is altered. This may make it difficult to distinguish between viable and non-viable tissue. Detritus accumulates under the nails and becomes more tenacious when soaked.
