Smelly Feet = Stinky Room

[Chiguy]

Bleh, my roommate's feet is stinking up the dorm room.



Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Give him some cotton socks, and somehow make him wear them. That will control the sweat that is allowing the smelly bacteria to grow. Don't be shy, he is probably self-conscious of it himself.

PS: read the label on the package. 80% cotton or more is OK.

tell him, lol.

Then he wont be confused when you open up the window 5 times a day to air it out and when you start spraying a bunch of air freshner

A can of foot powder with a big red bow on it.

Just set it on his dresser or something.

I had a case of the reakin feet as a teen. I found that if I actually wore cotton socks and leather shoes. No none of the fake leathers worked I could eliminate the foul smell.

for my non organic shoes I found that baking soda seemed to kill off the smell for some time. Like a teaspoon per shoe. but when you walk around you tend to leave ghost foot prints everywhere.

Regular body deoderant can help a lot.

Good grief! The guy's FEET can take out a whole room??

This guy needs a course in FOOT CARE! He's prolly got encrusted dead skin, toe jam, athlete's foot and I don't know what else...

He'll need a pumice stone for scraping in the shower, and lessons in how to use it. Meanwhile, foot powder is a good temporary measure, although it shouldn't be neccessary once his feet are healthy again.

Does this guy brush his teeth regularly? Just askin'...

Thanks for the suggestions

He's aware of it. He took out the entire hallway last night so he's been hearing about it from floormates. One was even gracious enough to give me a can of air freshner.

YIKES! TKOP may be onto something--

Hey, Chiguy! Get a small mirror and hold it under your roomie's nose!

I think we can solve this one pretty easy!
