Apple Cider Vinegar Foot Soak: I Tried It for 15 Minutes and Here’s the Result

Possible Benefits of ACV Foot Soaks

  • Softer skin: Helps loosen dry patches and calluses.
  • Odor control: Neutralizes unpleasant smells.
  • Fungal support: Its antimicrobial qualities may help with toenail fungus or athlete’s foot.
  • Relaxation: The warm soak itself is calming, especially after a long day.

Things to Keep in Mind


Apple cider vinegar is safe for most people, but there are some precautions:

  • Don’t use it on open cuts or wounds—it will sting.
  • People with very sensitive skin should dilute it more.
  • Limit soaks to 10–20 minutes to avoid irritation.
