The Swedish Clover Foot File by Flowery
Â
This foot file is sturdy, long-lasting, and, most importantly, it works. It has two sides:
- Coarse grit for tackling calluses and thick skin
- Fine grit for smoothing and finishing
But the real secret? Using it correctly.
How to Use It for Best Results
Most people make the mistake of using foot files dry. That just creates a mess of dead skin dust (gross) and doesnât work nearly as well. Instead, try this:
- Sit on the edge of your tub (dry tub, no standing water).
- Lightly dampen the fileârun it under a tiny trickle of water, then shake off the excess.
- Start on your heels with light to medium pressure. Youâll see dead skin rolling off.
- Continue until the skin starts coming off dry, then re-dip the file and keep going.
- Focus only on tough areas, avoiding the tops of your feet and toes. This is important! Swedish Clover is such a great file, you can overuse her. Don't!
- Finish with the fine side for ultra-smooth results.
- Rinse, dry, and moisturize.
If youâre doing it right, youâll see little gray skin blobs in the tub (oddly satisfying). Clean your file, admire your soft feet, and youâre done!

I totally agree!!! This file is the best, I religiously give myself a pedicure every 2 weeks because I just feel that the salon does not get as “down and dirty” and meticulous as I do with my pedi. This file is amazing, and makes my pedicure go much faster and easier than before. I am a bartender and make my living on my feet for 8-10 hours a night, so I take the time to treat my feet the way they deserve. Absolutely do not hesitate to buy this file!!!
Thank you for your reply, Teresa! It really is the best file, isn’t it? You’re absolutely right on salon pedicures. Even though they can do a nice job and feel great, it just isn’t the same as being able to control the treatment yourself – focusing on trouble areas and not being on a time limit to get the job done. Thank you for stopping by!
