•Start with Clean Feet: Before using the foot file, make sure your feet are clean and dry. Wash them with warm water and mild soap, and gently pat them dry with a towel.
•Soak or Soften the Feet (Optional): If you have particularly tough or thickened skin, you can choose to soak your feet in warm water for 10-15 minutes or use a foot soak to help soften the skin. This step can make it easier to remove dead skin and calluses.
•Identify Problem Areas: Examine your feet and identify the areas with rough skin or calluses that you want to target. These are the areas where you'll concentrate your efforts with the foot file.
•Sides: Coarse side first, then switch to the fine side.
•Clean and Store: After each use, rinse the foot file with water and, if necessary, use a mild soap to clean it. Allow it to air dry completely before storing it in a clean, dry place.
•Regular Maintenance: To maintain the smoothness of your feet, use the foot file as needed. Depending on your foot care needs, you may use it weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Regular maintenance will help prevent the buildup of rough skin and calluses.
