Eliminate Nail Fungus Quickly Without Wasting Half Your Day Soaking Your Nails in Baths
Hello All,
Dan Kooper here and today I want to talk about a solution for people with a minor to heavy nail fungus infection.
I have had two nail infections so far, mainly because I practice Kung-fu everyday in my bare feet, which as you know, is not the best thing you can do. These types of environments can be a breeding ground for some of the worst nail fungus strands out there.
At first, I didn’t pay too much attention to my nail infection – I just figured the bacteria would die off eventually. To my surprise, it just got worse and worse. In fact, it started on one nail and started to migrate to the others one by one. When it started infecting a 2nd toe, I decided it was time to do something about it because obviously letting it go away on its’ own wasn’t working.
I tried all the remedies listed on the internet.
After trying almost every home remedy on the internet, I noticed almost no improvement in my nail fungus. I tried all the remedies over a course of 2 months and saw very little improvement.
Vinegar Footbaths – This one was praised all over the internet. While it did improve the color of the nail, it did almost nothing to kill the nail fungus. After 2-3 weeks of soaking it, I decided to give up on it because the improvement was so minor that it wasn’t worth my time.
Listerine – I saw a lot of articles by people who said Listerine worked for them. Just like vinegar, I soaked my feet in a Listerine bath for 2 weeks. This method was even worse than the vinegar! The only thing it was able to do was stop the growth, but not kill it. As soon as I stopped this treatment, the fungus started getting worse just after 3 days.
Tea Tree Oil – Tea tree oil worked the best out of everything I tried. However, like vinegar and Listerine, the effects started to die out after a couple weeks. While it definitely worked better than other things I tested, it still lacked the power to kill the nail fungus for good.
It was clear to me that my nail fungus infection was just too much for home remedies like Vinegar and Listerine. So I started looking around for more powerful treatments.
In come ZetaClear…and it worked amazingly!
After some weeks I gave up on the foot baths and started searching for a better solution. I found ZetaClear online, and was kind of skeptical considering the price. Eventually I sucked it up and bought 2 bottles of it, and to my surprise it worked very quickly. The best part about it is I didn’t have to waste 30 minutes a day soaking my feet in foot baths. If you want to buy ZetaClear, you can get it cheapest directly through their website here.
How Zeta Clear works
What makes ZetaClear better than the house hold remedies is that it goes straight to the root of a toenail infection. While it does eat up all the surface level infection, it goes deep into the root of your nail to do the real dirty work. See, the thing is, if you don’t kill the root, it will just keep coming back – which is why vinegar and Listerine were not enough.
Recommendation: Only buy 2 bottles!
On the Zetaclear website, you can buy 2, 4, or 6 bottles. Unless you have a fungus infection on every single one of your nails, I highly recommend you only buy the 2 bottle option. While it is definitely a lot cheaper to get 6, you will likely only use one to one and a half bottles to clear up a medium foot fungus infection. I would only suggest 6 if you got some really nasty nail fungus.

Does this work on the fingernail? I think after looking on the internet I might have what is called chronic paronychia.
Cynthia,
Yes it works on all kinds of nail fungus. It also can kill fungus that is on the skin around the nail, which does happen sometimes.
I had been suffering from nail fungus for years and never could go swimming or to the beach because of this unsightly fungus on my toenails. I just have to let everyone know that Zetaclear works, SERIOUSLY. I’ve been using it for the last two months now without hardly any traces of fungus. I’ve heard that you should use it for up to 4 months so there won’t be any recurrences – so I will go that route as I dont ever want to see that mess on my feet again!
Is Zetaclear a topical solution? How do you use it on your toenail – just paint it on and let it dry?
my big toe’s nail has started falling off on a monthly basis and all my toenails are infected. I wear polish to hide it in case i have to take my shoes off. will this product work on this serious infection? Im so tired of being embarrassed of my feet
Corinne,
Yes it is a topical solution. I just dabbed the solution on a cotton ball and applied it to my nails and the skin surrounding the nail. You could simply drip the solution on your nail and would probably see the same results.
Melissa,
First off, covering up your nails with nail polish is not the right thing to do – and will only make your infection first. Doing this will also interfere with any treatments you apply to it. If your infection is bad like you say, you should consider using 4 or even 6 bottles. The 4 bottle supply will last you awhile, so if you think you are going to run out before all the fungus is killed, you can just order more without worrying about having a lapse in treatment.
Best of luck,
Dan
I have tried lotrimin AF (clotrimazole cream) and Fungi-Cure (25%undecylenic acid) and oral Lamisil with no luck.
Has anyone ever tried compound W wart remover? I would think they may be in the same family, and since the compound W kills the skin, maybe it would kill the fungus??
I didn’t try the tea tree oil, listerine, vinegar or Vick’s because it didn’t seem as though the cure was NOT a sure thing. I am tired of wasting my time and money. Are you THAT SURE about the Zetaclear? Do you get a kick back for selling their product through your website? (Sorry, I have to ask because it’s not cheap and I don’t want to be scammed.)
Thank you for this forum!
I just want to point out that vinegar works excellently, but you have to do it without fail morning and night for as long as it takes for your nail to completely grow out. 2 to 3 weeks is not nearly enough – its more like 5 to 6 mos. It works, I know because i did it myself. Its cheap and its effective, you just have to be diligent. Try the vinegar – it totally works!!!
But the smell of vinegar on your feet is terrible. Zetaclear has no awful smell and results were seen very quicky. I don’t think many people would try using vinegar on their nails for longer than a couple days. And if it takes months to work then I would much rather take something that works within weeks and has no smell at all.
Does covering with nailposh damage the nails? What about trying to remove th nail?Wont it grow and be better looking?
Iggy,
You are right about the Vinegar. However, I personally don’t want to be spending 30-45 minutes each day for 6 months soaking my nails in Vinegar. That comes out to over 135 HOURS worth of soaking. If you could paid, even $1 for each hour, you would be able to pay for 6 bottles of ZetaClear. You could probably even see the same results using only 2 bottles. The only thing you do with Zeta Clear is dab it on your nails in the morning and dab it on your nails before you go to bed – that’s it. That will take you no longer than a minute each day. Definitely beats having to spend 45 minutes a day for 6 months.
Nally,
I am not a personal fan of Lamisil. This stuff has some pretty nasty side effects – not something I want to subject my body to just to cure a nail fungus problem.
The compound W wart remover is not an effective solution. It will not be able to get under the nail. The only thing it might be able to help with is fungus that is on your skin. That said, compound W is like $10 for a small little bottle that will last for about a week. You will spend about the same amount on compound W as you would Zeta Clear.
I do get paid to send ZetaClear traffic – however, I have been spending close to two hours a day promoting my nail fungus websites so I need to find some way to cover the amount of work I am putting into it. However, I do believe Zeta Clear is a very effective solution as I have personally used it and found the results and the speed of cure worth the price.
They also have a 90 day money back guarantee. You can simply send it back if you don’t find it effective. I have yet to see any refund requests after 2 months worth of promotion, so other people definitely are seeing results.
Do this stuff have any funny smell?
OK, I bought two bottles of ZetaClear. I cut my toenails down short and have been scrubbing them, then drying them well using a hair dryer, and then dabbing the Zeta Clear on, at least two times a day, sometimes three. My big toe on the right foot was detached almost all the way down…left me about 1/8 inch nail. The other big toe had an area about 1/4 inch that was “bad”. My other toes look fine, but I’m not taking any chances so they’re getting the treatment too.
Kang: yes, it smells a little funny, but not bad at all. Just a little like an herb would smell.
The only thing I found strange, which I have not read anyone talk about, is the ORAL spray that came with my two bottles of nail “polish”. I was very leary of spraying anything under my tongue because I can be subjected to a drug test at any time. Can anyone give me any info on this spray? Admin? I tried looking the ingredients up on WebMD but found nothing. It looks like it’s some sort of homeopathic “cure”.
I’ll keep you posted, and I promise to be honest about my use and the results.
Again, thank you so much for a forum where we can speak freely and share ideas about this embarassing ailment!
Nalley,
Good call treating it before it starts to spread. It definitely does spread and I had the same thing happen to me because I left it untreated.
I was not aware that they added an oral spray to the package – which is pretty cool because I can definitely see that being helpful at attacking the fungus internally. It must be something relatively new as I bought it 6 months ago when it was only the topical solution.
Too bad I have no nail fungus left because it would have been cool to see how effective the oral spray is.
I will contact the manufacturer about the ingredients of the oral spray for you. I know someone who works there so I should be able to find out for you pretty fast.
Regards,
D. Kooper
I’ve had fungus on only one toenail, fo 15 years. I took oral meds to cure it ,10 yrs.ago.It seems to have stopped the fungus,but the toenail is exceedingly thick.It was my understanding that I w/grow a new, healthy toenail , after 10 months of the oral meds.Any idea how I may hope for a better result?
hie,
it is nice to hear all the good comments from you guys. Am from Zambia and i have had nail fungus since 1998. my big toes are all affected and cant even wear open fancy shoes. i do not have a credit card and i cant afford the coast because its almost close to monthly salary. i tried to look in our chemists to see if they have but nothing. I envy you guys. i wish i could have nice nails. i cant even remember how they once looked.
m. ossana,
Same exact thing happened to me. I took the lamisil but nail still looked terrible. I trimmed mine down completely and have been using the zetaclear for about 3 weeks. The nail definately seems better and also seems to be growing out attached to the skin. No thickness, no yellow color.
I don’t know if the lamisal killed my fungur or not, but it didn’t seem to allow me to grow a healthy nail. Good luck.
Update: I am still treating 3 times a day, but sometimes I can only do it twice. I am being very consistant with scrubbing, blowdrying, applying the zetaclear and dry socks. Looks good so far, but it’s still too early to tell is it has cured me.
I have had severe toenail fungus now for years & it has advanced to point of my big-toenails are over 1/4 inch thick!
I’ve tried everything and I’ve learned through researching this out, that in some cases the ONLY cure is having the nails surgically removed. My Sister had the same problem & had to resort to this. I never go barefooted and am extremely embaressed to do so around anyone. I have even resorted to using a grinder to grind them down–very painful. Even thought about using some kind of acid such as hydrocloric to eat it off! I’m sick of it and feel like just chopping my toes off at times.
Scott,
I understand your frustration completely. I am a woman and also a lifelong boater. It is terrible to be embarrassed about something we have, seemingly, no control over.
I know the zetaclear is expensive (almost $70 after tax and shipping for two bottles), but give it a try before you have your toenail removed, which I hear is extrmely painful. The zetaclear really does seem to be working, at least for me. The key is, CUT YOUR TOENAIL DOWN. I had only a stub of a nail left after trimming it, but now I keep it filed down as it grows out….it is growing out ATTACHED to the skin finally! Also, the yellowing is gone and thickness is gone as it grows out.
I have been religious about scrubbing with a nail brush, blow drying to be sure my toes are dry, filing the nail to keep it short (no yuck builds up under the nail since there is no room for it), and applying the zetaclear at least twice a day. I also have used the under-the-tongue spray they sent, with no side effect at all. As a worker in public safety I must be extremely careful about what goes in my body, i.e. drug testing, so I feel comfortable with this spray. Who knows, it may not even be doing anything, but I want the best shot possible to get rid of this nastiness!
I will tell you this: I AM NOT paid by this company in any way. I was, like you, someone just searching the internet for something, anything, to help get rid of this ailment I have had for years.
Good luck to you! I check this website about once a week, so post any specific questions you have and I’ll answer them.
Hi Nalley,
Thanks for explaning this to me. I read about this ZetaClear and just was curious about it. I may invest in some. I just would like to know a little more about it and also check with a physician to see if this is something that I can take. Thanks to all for giving an explanation as to what the zetaclear is all about. It’s great to know that they have a 90 day money back guaranteed.
My husband has has awful nail fungus for years, and is finally thinking of seeing a podiatrist. What might they prescribe, would it work, and would it be safe to take for someone with cirrhosis? He complains that his toes hurt. Could this be related to the nail fungus?
Pkinzey,
They normally prescibe Lamisil (after doing a little clipping of the nail and confirming the fungus in a petri dish), which is expensive, but your insurance will probably cover it. (Mine did with BC/BS.) I kind of doubt your husband will get this medicine, though, because it can be very bad for the kidneys.
Go to webmd.com to research the Lamisil. I took it for 3 months and it seemed to help in the beginning, but then my toes looked just as bad a year later. I was not told how to properly care for my toes at that time, so I probably did not give it its best chance to work. I kept my toenails longer and polished (to hide the fungus!), whereas now I keep them as short as they need to be so “guck” doesn’t get underneather them and NO nail polish. Turns out the nail polish gives the fungus a nice dark place to grow.
Maybe one day, after I am positve that the fungus is gone, I will go back to having girlie feet, but for now I just want them as clear as possible so I can keep a close eye on the fungus.
Tye,
Read the 90 day guarantee close; I have not done so. Do the botles have to be “unopened”? Also, I tried to research the ingredients and it looks like you can only find them on homeopathic-type websites. Your doctor, or better yet a pharmacist, may know more. Let us know what you find out if you can.
To both of you, it takes TIME and a serious COMMITMENT to rid your self (or spouse) of the fungus, no matter what route you choose.
Update on MY tooties: all is still well and still clear. Nails are growing out slowly, as toenail tend to do, but thank goodness they are attached to the skin (finally).
I wish every one of us continued success!!
Hie, i finally checked out one final pharmacy and they said they order zeta clear once in awhile as people ask for it. I will do it no matter the price. I need to see my perfect nails back. I managed to go back in time and saw a photo of when my nails were just perfect. I cant wait for the results. Thanks guys
[...] you are looking for a cure for nail fungus, I highly recommend you check out ZetaClear. I have a review of it [...]
Yvonne,
Be sure to read my other posts about caring for your nails too. I think that has made a significant difference for my nails, along with teh Zetaclear.
Update: My left big toe: completely clear of fungus and almost grown out to a normal length. This was the toenail that had the smallest amount of ‘damage’.
My right toenail has grown out to about 1/2 an inch long (from where I had cut it down to a tiny piece of a nail!). The nail is completely ATTACHED to the skin underneath, which is so exciting for me! The nail itself is normal in color and thickness. I can’t wait to have it longer though, but toenails are so slow growing.
I am still keeping up my routine: scrub with nail brush, dry with hairdryer, file as needed to keep nail short (so there won’t be any debris buildup underneath) and apply the zetaclear twice a day, at least.
Okay everyone, I have read every review on this site with great interest, but have a few questions. I do not doubt anyone’s experience using the ZetaClear, and am pretty excited by ordering it. Still have some concerns, therefore, I am expecting everyone’s help with the use of this product and how it’s done. First, I’ll describe my toenail fungus problem. I’ve had toenail fungus for years. Actually too many years to remember how many. I’m not worried about the cost, because if this gives the results that everyone says, I can’t wait to order. I faithfully keep my toenails filed down at least twice a month and I polish them to help them look better. If I did not file my nails down, they would be very thick, painful to wear closed in shoes and actually the shoe buckles on top where the big toe is. You can actually see where my big toe is in the shoe. There’s thick debris underneath the toenail, very brittle, splitting and the nail is black in color. (All toes) They have gotten to point where the nail is curving under near the end. Clipping and filing has helped to prevent my toenails from closing in at the ends and having the appearance of a cone. Too much filing hits the debris and sometimes bleed a little. That’s when I know to stop filing. I would send a photo, but my persistent filing will not do justice to what they would actually look like if I didn’t. I am a little confused about several reviews commenting on cutting the toenail down. (to the cuticle?) Doesn’t this hurt. Does cutting the nail down help to clear the thick ugly debris that is underneath the toenail when you use the product? How far down am I expected to cut the nail? Do I need to buy a blowdryer since I use an upright dryer that I sit under? If I have to cut the nail down, how long does it take to grow back? I thought I read that it takes around two months before seeing clearer/better nails.
Also, what is the difference between the ZetaClear and Claripro products? Are they exactly the same products or are there any differences? I think the prices are different.
I know I sound like one of the other readers, but it helps me to understand better what is expected for the best results, before actually buying the product. Please help!!
I have had terrible toenail fungus for around 30 years! It started on the big toe of my left foot (probably due to injury and/or locker room) and spread to 3 of the four remaining toes. I also have it on the small toe of the right foot. I have tried oral medication (for over a year-not a good idea) and loads of topical treatments bought via internet and pharmacies. I have tried Vick’s vaporub. I have followed the regimen of each religiously, but have never gotten rid of the fungus. At times, it looked a bit better, only to return to its former state. I do not want to be taken, again! I want to know if this REALLY works. Also, I see that it has been suggested to cut down thew nail as much as possible. What will happen when the nail grows? What about ingrown toenail? Please help and answer my questions.
Ray
I just ordered Zetaclear. I have suffered with toenail fungus for over 15 years I am overwhelmed with my condition. All my toenails are infected. I have searched for a solution to my problem even had both of my big toe nails removed but the nails grew back just as bad. I pray that this product will work because I feel so depressed about the situation.
Nalley, I am a boater as well, so I can really relate!! My fungus is severe, I have it on ALL toes, 100%, and have had it probably for 30 years.
I have been using Tineacide cream twice a day for about 6 months, completely stopped wearing nail polish, and have seen improvement on one of my big toes (actually it’s half clear now, and growing out well, so I am really pleased about that), my other big toe is starting to clear (maybe 1/4 or so), some other toes showing some signs but nothing yet on baby toes (they are the thickest!).
I already have ZetaClear order that I received a month or so ago, and haven’t started using it because I was a bit leery of the oral spray. But given the good things I have heard here, i think I will start using the liquid and the oral spray now.
Does anyone have success story with ZetaClear on such a severe case as mine?
For you long time nail fungus sufferers – the medications you take aren’t fully to blame because of your nail fungus.
A lot of the times people with long time nail fungus will have the infection all over places in their house including bathroom, bathtubs, kitchen floors, and even your old shoes.
These hot spots will cause your nail fungus to regenerate.
A lot of you are saying that you saw some progress, only to see it get worse after you try to treat it. This is because you are getting re-infected from those hot spots in your house. You must first try and clear away those places, then work on your treatment.
Regards,
Daniel
Daniel,
How do you “clear away those places (hot spots)? I have heard of the suggestion of throwing away ALL shoes but not sure I can afford to do that… and in any case, how do I know when the fungus is REALLY gone from my toes? until they all grow out clear, it would seem that buying new shoes would not be a good plan.. Catch-22
And what about bathrooms, tubs, floors? Since fungus is not visible, how do you determine if you have gotten rid of it?
Sue
I have to make this short and sweet so I’ll post to everyone:
REMOVE THAT DARN NAIL POLISH!! Now is NOT the time to worry about pretty feet! You are giving a comfortable home to the fungus! I know, I know, I tried to hide it too with polish, but let’s put on our big girl panties and not worry about what others think. Keep them covered with nice clean dry socks instead (I even wear socks with my boat shoes!) We’re going into winter, so this should be easy.
What I mean by cutting nails down…imagine a nice long fingernail..now cut it down all the way so you cannot scratch with it. OK, that is how your toe nails should look (every one of them!). File them across so they are not jagged and then throw the nail file IN THE GARBAGE. (Get a huge pack of the disposable kind; you’re going to need them) You must not give any room under the nail for yuck to build up!
Scrape any “yuck” out from under your nail, scrub with a nice antibiotic soap and nail brush, rinse well, and dry with hairdryer…then apply zetaclear. THIS SHOULD BE YOUR ROUTINE EVERY SINGLE DAY, at least TWICE A DAY!
Wash all of your nail clippers, metal files, nail brushes, whatever you can wash in a solution of bleach and water (I used 50% bleach but that might be overkill) Rinse well and let air dry. Do this EVERY SINGLE TIME you use a non-disposable item anywhere near those toes. If you cannot wash it, throw it out.
Buy a hairdryer! They are cheap ($10-15) and you must dry your toes completely after every shower or toe scrubbing. I scrub my toes twice a day, sometimes three, and then apply the zetaclear AFTER drying them real well with the dryer.
OK, we’re all in this together! Keep posting success (and not-so-success) stories. Suggestions, anything to help each other out.
Again, I am NOT paid or affiliated in any way to this product but, by gosh, it IS WORKING FOR ME!!
I want pretty toes by next summer…how about you?

I went out of town a couple of weeks ago with some friends, so I treated myself to a pedicure, but as soon as I got back home I removed the nail polish. I hope by next summer I will not need any nail polish, though, because my toenails won’t need hiding anymore.
Thank you so much for promoting this product!

Nalley, great you are having such good results… My nails are not showing much change yet, but then they were really severe (for over 25 years!). I am continuing to use the Zetaclear at least twice a day. But mostly they just look a weird yellow/orangeish color after I put the Zetaclear on – do you find that happens? and they are quite short (except for the big toes) and I don’t see any sign of pink yet. But it’s only been about 3 weeks, so I will keep trying.. if this stuff can clear up my problem, it can clear up ANYONE’s!! Any other people finding success with their treatment? it’s been pretty silent on this message stream..
Sue, stick with it! Yes, my nails turned a golden color a bit, just around the edges, but what’s weird is it doesn’t do that anymore. Maybe that is some reaction the medicine is having with the live fungus, and now my fungus is dead?
I looked back at the date I started using the Zetaclear…Sept 09. I wish I had taken photographs of my nails prior to treatment, and my nails now. Yes, it takes a while to see improvment, but I really, really do see it in mine! My left nail, the one with only a small amount of fungus, looks completely normal now. My right one, the one where I had about 1/8″ of a nail left because it had separated from the nail bed….it is about half way grown out to full nail and it is completely attached to the nail bed. Plus, is is NORMAL looking! I am so happy. It does take committment, but it takes me two minutes at the MOST to completely dry my nails and apply the zetaclear. If I have to do this for the rest of my life to keep my nails looking as good as they do now, I will. No different than brushing my teeth to me now.
Again, I want to be clear (ha! no pun intended!) that I am not paid, I do not know who “Admin” is…I just happened upon this website just like the rest of you. I am truly amazed and THRILLED with this product!
Let us all know how it’s going. Oh, one last thing…I am no longer using the oral spray. I wanted to see if it worked without it…and it does.
Good luck to you, Sue…and everyone!
Nalley, that’s great! And yes, I am sticking with it. One big toe is doing very well, but that was happening while using another product, before using Zetaclear. However, I will continue for at least another month or 2 on Zetaclear, because I bought 6 bottles and I haven’t get any better plan at this point. I am atill using the spray when I remember (at least once a day).

I went to the nail salon the other day WITH A FRIEND for the first time in years! Why? Because I was not embarrassed about my toenails! I had a pedicure, but did not allow them to put any polish on (they don’t need it, I am happy to say!) and when I came home I scrubbed my toes…just in case the salon was carrying a fungus, which they can even when they look spotless.
Sue and others, how is your progress??
