Maridell - on the rare occasion when I have grass stains on my feet (most of the time it's ground in dirt from the dirt getting trapped between the sole of my sandal & my foot), I'll first take a hot shower & scrub 'em down that way with just my shower poof & regular soap. If they don't come clean that way (sometimes they don't), I'll fill up a turkey roaster w/warm-hottish water & some Epsom salts and soak my feet for about 20-30 minutes (until the water gets cool). Then it should just wipe right off w/a washcloth & soap. For dirt under the toe nails (yuck), definitely soaking, and then gently rubbing with a washcloth usually gets it. I don't ever dig the dirt from under my nails with a nail pick as I don't want to accidentally cut my skin and then grind the dirt into the open wound. Something else that does work wonders but I *HATE* to do it is a strong (10%) hydrogen peroxide bath... the bubbles will just bubble the dirt away. But I'm very sensitive to H2O2 so I try not to do that unless it's an emergency (thorn in the foot).
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
