How to Use a Toe Towel: Step-by-Step Instructions for Every Product in the Range

Drying between your toes properly is one of the simplest and most effective things you can do for your foot health. A standard bath towel simply cannot reach those narrow spaces — which is exactly why the Toe Towel range was designed.

Here is a complete guide to using each product in the range, plus how to pair your Toe Towel with San-O-Foot Antiseptic Spray for maximum protection.


How to Use the Toe Towel Taper

The Toe Towel Taper is a soft, absorbent towel with an innovative tapered design — narrow at the tip and wider at the base — so you can choose the section that fits most comfortably between your toes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. After bathing, showering, swimming, or washing your feet, sit down comfortably and place one foot on your knee or a low stool
  2. Hold the Toe Towel Taper at both ends
  3. Select the section of the towel that fits comfortably between your first toe gap — start with the narrower tip for smaller gaps
  4. Gently slide the towel between your toes
  5. Move it back and forth in a gentle sawing motion to absorb all moisture
  6. Repeat between each toe gap on both feet
  7. Allow the towel to air dry completely before storing

Tip: Use the narrower tip for smaller toe gaps and the wider section for larger gaps. The tapered design accommodates all toe sizes.

Care Instructions

  • Hand wash after use
  • Air dry completely before storing
  • Do not bleach
  • Do not tumble dry on high heat

How to Use the Toe Towel Duo

The Toe Towel Duo contains two Toe Towels, each with comfortable towelling handles (cords) on either side. Keep one at home and one in your gym, swimming, or travel bag.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. After bathing, showering, swimming, or washing your feet, sit down comfortably
  2. Hold one handle (cord) in each hand
  3. Position the centre towelling section between your first toe gap
  4. Gently pull the handles back and forth in a see-saw motion to dry the space between your toes thoroughly
  5. Repeat between each toe gap on both feet
  6. Allow the towel to air dry completely before storing or returning to your bag

Tip: Keep one Toe Towel Duo at home and one in your gym bag — so you always have one available after training, swimming, or using public facilities.

Care Instructions

  • Hand wash after use
  • Air dry completely before storing
  • Do not bleach
  • Do not tumble dry on high heat

How to Use the Toe Towel Stick Duo

The Toe Towel Stick Duo features a long handle (approximately 37 cm) with a soft absorbent towelling head — designed for those who find it difficult or uncomfortable to bend down to reach their feet. Ideal for seniors, pregnant women, people with limited mobility, and anyone recovering from surgery.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. After bathing, showering, swimming, or washing your feet, remain standing or sit upright in a chair
  2. Hold the Toe Towel Stick by its handle
  3. Lower the towelling head to your foot without bending
  4. Gently guide the towelling head between your first toe gap
  5. Move it back and forth to absorb moisture and dry the area thoroughly
  6. Repeat between each toe gap on both feet
  7. Wash the towelling head after use and allow to air dry completely

Tip: The long handle means you never need to bend uncomfortably to reach your toes. This makes it ideal for daily use by seniors, pregnant women, or anyone with back, hip, or knee concerns.

Care Instructions

  • Wash the towelling head after use
  • Allow to air dry completely before storing
  • Store in a clean, dry place

Step 2: Apply San-O-Foot Antiseptic Foot Spray

For complete foot hygiene protection — especially after the gym, pool, or any public facility — follow your Toe Towel routine with San-O-Foot Antiseptic Foot Spray.

How to Use San-O-Foot

  1. Ensure feet are clean and dry — use your Toe Towel first
  2. Hold the San-O-Foot spray bottle approximately 10–15 cm from your foot
  3. Spray directly onto the soles of your feet, between your toes, and on any affected areas
  4. Allow to dry naturally — do not rinse off
  5. Use morning and evening for daily protection, and always after training or using public showers and bathrooms

San-O-Foot is formulated with Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) — a clinically proven antimicrobial agent that kills bacteria and fungi on contact. It is alcohol-free, non-irritating, and safe for daily use on all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Tip: Keep San-O-Foot in your gym bag alongside your Toe Towel Duo. A 30-second routine after every shower is all it takes to prevent athlete’s foot and fungal infections for good.
