    lol apparently weeing doesn't work...LOL

    snacks DH used to have this really bad.
    there are a couple of things you can do.... firstly slather on the hydrozole or canasten as often as you can.
    wear cotton socks with your shoes or just slip ons if you can to let your feet dry out and finally just keep a bottle of shower cleaner in the shower and spray the base when you've finished showering.
    he hasn't had it for over a year now and he used to grow potatoes between his toes

    I hope this helps....

    Rather than a shower cleaner, put a few drops of tea tree oil or similar over the shower floor.
    Wash your bathmats often, throw a dash of tea tree in the wash too.

    I am heartily disappointed to hear the wee doesn't work

    wee works for me Before turning on the shower, ger your man to pee on your feet - hopefully he will have better aim? (hopefully! lol)

    also - give yourself a bit of a foot soak in a few drops of tea tree oil, that will do wonders.

    Get hubby to soak the shower floor in bleach and rinse it out before you go in there!

    That should pretty much do it. Oh - dont wear any shoes for a few days - nothing with synthetic lining (leather only from now on!) and only cotton socks.

    GL !I used to have it trerribly but now I do the above and havent had it for ages

    I have some if you are out this way.
    I remember using a tinea powder before on my feet which worked well.
