Fungus: what is important when starting treatment?
Shoe Disinfection
To protect your toenails and feet from various infections, especially nail fungus, it is recommended to take care not only of your feet, but also of your shoes and socks, where infections may persist even after the affected nails or skin have been treated.
At Veselības centrs 4 branches, it is possible to disinfect footwear using the KLENZ disinfection device.
This device is beneficial not only in cases of fungal infections but also for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the feet) and bromhidrosis (sweating accompanied by an unpleasant odor).
Shoes can be disinfected while the client is receiving foot care.
The KLENZ shoe disinfection device is a fast and effective solution for disinfecting shoes and socks.
A study conducted by the British Analytical Agency found that sports and everyday shoes contain around 140,000 fungal spores in each shoe.
Research by universities in England and Korea confirmed that after treatment in the KLENZ device, bacteria, viruses and fungal spores are reduced by 99.7%.
How does the shoe disinfection device work?
Using a special ventilation system, ozone and nanosilver particles penetrate the footwear, eliminating bacteria and fungi and neutralizing odor molecules.
The device is environmentally friendly, economical, and completely harmless.
The KLENZ device is the most effective way to eliminate bacteria from everyday items: socks, sports shoes, books, children’s toys, work tools, etc.
By pressing "Start", within 10 minutes nanosilver particles and ozone remove odors and destroy fungal spores by up to 99.7%.
No heat, ultraviolet radiation, or chemicals are used, making the process safe for shoes, socks, and shoe padding.
When disinfecting shoes with the KLENZ device, sprays, inserts or special sock rolls are not required, though they can be used as additional preventive measures if frequent disinfection is needed.
About shoe and sock disinfection
If you have had a fungal infection of the feet or toenails, it is extremely important to be cautious and to care not only for the affected areas, but also for items where fungal infection may "settle"—namely your personal shoes: slippers, everyday shoes, leisure shoes, as well as socks and tights.
Ideally, all shoes should be replaced when starting treatment, but this is often not possible for financial reasons.
Therefore, we recommend a high-quality and recognized alternative method — shoe disinfection with the KLENZ device, which uses advanced filtration and treatment. KLENZ destroys microbes and fungal spores by up to 99.7% already after the first use.
Useful home foot-care recipes
We recommend occasionally pampering your feet with baths by adding natural ingredients to the water:
salt – disinfects;
calendula tincture – reduces the risk of dermatological issues;
oak bark decoction – reduces foot fatigue and prevents sweating;
onion extract – improves blood circulation in the feet and has antifungal properties.
Fungal infection prevention for those who wear sports shoes: Mix five drops of tea tree oil and one drop of lemon oil with a teaspoon of plant oil. Gently massage into the feet and between the toes.
