There is so much great archived material on this site. Thanks to this five-year-old thread I have used H2O2 to cure my athlete's foot with excellent effect. Borrowing the alcohol bath idea from Get Selected I bought a $1.99 container at Target about the size of my foot and have been soaking my feet nightly in the H2O2. The athlete's foot is almost entirely gone but I am continuing to soak in hopes of eliminating toenail fungus.

However, I have a cost-control question: if my feet are clean upon entering the H2O2 bath can I reuse the H2O2 for multiple soakings without diminishing it's effectiveness, and if so for how long? I have been buying the large 32oz containers at Walmart, using a new bottle every night and dumping the H2O2 after each soaking. It's money well spent but I hate to waste money if I don't need to.

I read the Wikipedia entry on H2O2 and did some Googling, but did not find the answer to this question. Unfortunately, I am chemically-ignorant and do not even know how to search for an answer to this question.

Me and my checking account would appreciate any help.

Thank you.
