To wash my ugg slippers- athletes foot!

[Kab13]

Woke up this morning with itchy skin between my toes, all red and sore. (Sorry!)
I'm buying some cream today but I'm pretty sure it's going to be pointless if i use my ugg slippers again as they are bound to infect my feet again.
Can I wash them? Will it even be effective as I'm sure they'll have to go on a hand wash?
Very random thread I know, but I like my uggs and don't want to ruin them

What if you put anti fugal powder in them? I don't think washing them will do the trick if you don't wash them at a quite high temp.

I put mine in the washing machine on a normal cycle...then air dry them.
They come up all lovely and new.

I'll try washing them then & then the powder. Didn't want them to lose there softness but suppose it's better than constant athletes foot.
Eughh.

The softness comes back...just use some fabric softener.
And ...they'll stay fluffy.
Think you may have to keep using a little powder between your toes each day to prevent too much soreness.

I have Celtic sheepskin boots - v similar to Uggs - and machine wash them at 30. You need to use wool wash or soap flakes rather than washing powder. I use grated up soap.

YABU for wearing slippers without socks

O.o didn't say she wore no socks.....

Open if you wore the uggs without socks it's no wonder you've got a fungal infection!

I do wear socks, but they are those thin pop socks. Not thick enough for slippers I think.

Oh phew, have a real hat/bordering on phobia of shoes & slippers with no socks.

Vinegar is your best friend. Soak your feet in white vinegar and water twice a day. Also I'd you are going to wash the slippers in the machine throw in some white vinegar with them. Not enough to make them smell but it gets rid of fungal infections great.

Actually also read rub vicks on the patches too.
