Do you wash your feet before going to bed?

Indeed it's a good practice, inherited from my parents. I too, wear sandals around the house, infact, but i still wash my feet before going to sleep. Next time, you can try it, it will help you sleep soundly too :) Thanks for your response.

Thank you very much saivenkaat, for appreciating my old post here. I am glad to have a friend here who is always taking care of his own personal hygiene. I have several friends who do not take initiative to take care of themselves in some aspects. I know one of them, who still needs his mom to push him always to take bath, cut finger nails and wash hair all the time. He is already of age 36, not a kid anymore. posting and have a nice day.

Hi diansinta, well you are lucky my dear, to have a caring mom, to bring you up to have this good personal hygienic habit since your childhood. Hehe it’s nice to know that there is another future caring mom here going to cultivate her next generation to have such good practice as well. posting and cheerio.

I am glad that you do have such a good habit as your default practice. It is nice as well to instill such healthy habit into the daily practice of our young generations. Going to bed with clean feet could always keep our bed sheets cleaner and hygienic all the time.

LOL we both have the same habit and have clean bedsheets:) Thanks for your response.

Hi ayou, love really could change one’s habit. Well, you husband must be very happy as you have cultivated such a good hygienic habit.

It's a really good hygenic practice. I seldom wash with warm water, coz i am living in tropical country and the water is warm enough :) I think washing your feet will help sleep soundly in the night too. Thanks for your response.

Yeah che, a caring mom always tries very hard with whatever way, including telling scary stories, to train her kid to become a person who could take care of his own personal hygiene. I believe the story about the cockroaches really worked, for you and sister do acquire such good habit to wash the feet before going to bed. I also dislike seeing some of my friends who get into bed without washing their feet, when I happen to share hotel room with them during tour. I wonder how they could sleep with their dirty and smelly feet. I agree with you that this hygienic habit should be cultivated since young. posting and take care.

Yeah che, strict parents could bring up well discipline and good mannered kids. Kids are innocent when young and they must be taught before they know what is wrong or right. Other than parents, friends do influence us a lot. This could be seen in your case. You had changed your sister’s friend a bad habit of not washing feet. She certainly will feel grateful as you had taught her a good lesson that was not taught by her parents during her childhood. posting and take care.

Hi lkbooi, Yes and the parents are very influential in this habit..I actually change a close friend of mine, she used to just join My sister and I in our bed and I hate it when we have a clean sheets and her feet is very dirty..I always told her to wash first and she started from that time..!

Ya, we should thank and remember our beloved parents, for them to teach us good practice and educate us. Thanks for your response!

You are most welcome, my dear jisir. Best wishes, bye ...

Hi dear jisir, you are most welcome. Thank you for spending your precious time to respond my old discussion. I am glad to learn that you have taught your teen son all the good habits which you had learnt from your parents. I am sure your son will be benefited very much in his future life. You are such a good and caring dad.

Thanks for the complimentary, my dear lkbooi.

It is a good habit for us to wash our feet before going to bed. By doing this our bed sheet won’t get dirty. I do cultivate my son to make sure his feet are clean before going to bed.

You are right, hillock, it is easier to wash our feet than to wash the bedsheet lol...

thats one of the reason of which i always wash my feet. my bedsheet is white. its kinda tiring to change it! hehehe!

Yeah leateagee, I’m glad to know that your parent did the same, to instill into your mind this good habit since your childhood. I also wish everyone could pass this good habit to our new generation to keep the feet clean before going to bed. Really, we would have healthy feet only if we always keep them clean. I was told that our tired feet would feel relaxed and comfy if soaked in warm water for 20 minutes or so. posting and good luck.

Yeah Desierra, I did like to do the same thing during my childhood, to get my feet wet after taking off my shoes. I did this everyday after school and I felt quite comfortable to wet my feet with cold water. My granny always advised me not to do that as she thought that one might from rheumatism when one got older. As a kid I did not believe this weird idea and I kept on washing them without being known by her. After I left school I didn’t do this for I didn’t have to wear socks and shoes anymore. Anyway I still persist to wash my feet before going to bed for hygienic purpose. posting and take care.

Yeah, though now we know what we have done actually doesn’t cause any harm to us, we still should have to thank our elderly, for the nag and scolding usually showed her concern for us, right? For the sake of health, I wonder whether we would treat our younger generation the same way as our grandparents had treated us Anyway it’s nice to pass on this hygienic habit to our young generation. posting and take care.

Yes, I still remember my grandma used to nag & scold me for getting my feet wet or washed them at night. And wouldn't allow me to bathe at night too, she thought I would catch a cold and fall sick as it was 'cooling' for the body system. Well! Been years I have been doing that and it is actually pretty harmless. This is a good practical habit to hand down for sure Cheers and have a good day.

Hi mEisky, it’s glad to know that the good habit of having clean feet before going to bed has firmly instilled into you daily life already. I also find that having a wonderful shower and washing my feet at the meantime could really make me feel relaxed and to fall asleep easily. posting and take care.

yes.it's more comfortable to sleep.:) and its a perfect thing in ourselves to do.i do believe that "cleanliness is next to Godliness"..lol

Surely balasri, it’s more convenient to wash our feet at the mean time when having a shower before going to bed. The cool shower always could make us to feel relaxed and to fall asleep soundly. posting and have a nice day.

Hi mayka, I believe after having cold bath every part of your body are clean, of course your feet as well. Really we would feel cool and comfy to have bath during scorching days. Yeah, during the hot sunny days here I do like to have a cold shower before going to bed. posting and have a nice day.

Well cncoke, it’s nice to know that you have taught your kids to have this good hygienic habit before going to bed. Yeah, clean feet will keep away skin diseases and to make us sleep soundly. Besides our bed sheets could be maintain clean for a longer time posting and have a nice day.

Yeah currykai, you are right.in tropical countries, the hot weather always would make the feet with socks sweaty easily. This is easy to harbor dirt and germ on the feet with socks. So it’s nice to clean our feet while having shower or before going to bed. Yeah, there are many scary tales to frighten children who don’t wash their feet before going to bed. Of course this practice won’t be healthy for children psychologically and spiritually, for this won’t explain to them why they must wash their feet. Anyway this still could be the effective way to make them to wash their feet before going to bed. Thanks for your response and posting.

Hi karjyo, it doesn’t matter when we wash our feet, as long as we always keep them clean. Yeah, brushing teeth before going to bed is a common habit to everyone. Hehe ... if one doesn’t clean his teeth before sleeping he would be considered as having unhygienic habit posting and have a nice day.

Hi icegermany, your parents has cultivated you with the good habit of keeping the body clean whenever coming back from outside. Yeah, our body is always contaminated with dust and germs when staying outside. It’s hygienic to have all these washed off once we come home. Our young generation should be taught with this good habit. posting and have a nice day.
