So you're preparing a patient for foot surgery.
Remove the hair from the foot either using standard clippers or those mini ones you get in the barbers.
Now grab a large latex glove, fill it with the scrub solution, place over the foot.
Now with one hand hold the glove on the foot by the cuff and with the other hand squeeze the hand of the glove this makes for better coverage of the scrub solution on the foot.

Very clever and effective.
I've used this method for a while too, its great as all the dirt remains inside the glove. First time I did it many gave odd looks but now most are trying it. So much easier and allows good contact time. Always follow up with final prep.
love this one, I taught the rest of my nurses and vets this one at my pratice, heard it a while back, but works fab!
brilliant and so simple.
Glad my tip helped out!!!
used this today on a poss FB cyst vet was well impressed! It worked brilliantly too!
Yeah it's a great method! better than trying to get in between the pads with cotton wool or swabs!
I will have to remember that, makes great sense to do that!
