  1. Take a large plastic tub from the shelves located next to the workstations.

 

  1. Go to the laundry room and squirt approx. 1 teaspoon of dish soap into the tub.

 

  1. Fill tub halfway with hot water from the laundry room sink, producing suds.

 

  1. Before having your guest insert his feet, pour approx. 2 tablespoons of bleach and two tablespoons of wintergreen alcohol into the tub.  Note:  Please remember to ask the guest if he would like the bleach.  Most guests do.  If their skin looks damaged, irritated in any way, etc. then avoid bleach.

 

  1. Ask guest to roll up his pants, before inserts his feet, so the bleach won’t harm his pants.
