Toenail Clipping: Use clean tools to trim your nails. If you are trimming your toenails it should be cut across and never curved. 2. Footwear: Wear shoes that allow your feet to breathe and give your toes enough room. Breathable shoes also allow the shoes to let out moisture and decrease the amount of sweat stuck inside the shoe. 3. Change shoes: It is important to change your footwear when they get wet. Be sure to let them dry out and disinfect them using a shoe spray or leaving them out in the sun to ensure that the bacteria is eradicated 4. Barefoot: Walking barefoot can increase your chances of getting a nail fungus, even in your own home. Be sure to always wear shower slippers in the shower, and house shoes when walking throughout the shoes. 5. Disinfect: Not only is it important to clean your shoes but you should also keep your home and showers clean of any lingering bacteria as well. While in the shower, it’s also important to wash your feet as well 6. Nail tools: It is also important not to be sharing nail tools or shoes and ensure that your nail salon is using clean tools. It is even better if you are bringing your own tools to the salon so you don’t run the risk of contracting an infection from dirty tools. Clean your grooming tools with hot water or alcohol. It is likely that infection passes from another person so be wary of other peoples’ nail fungus if you are going to be in proximity to their infected nails. Wear gloves and wash your hands to avoid contracting the infection.
