Wash feet and treat warts
Wart treatment works best on skin that is clean and dry, which makes the foot wash part of the cure rather than an optional warm-up. The steps below keep the two jobs in the order that actually gets results.

About this visual support
This is really two jobs that ended up as one. The feet get washed and dried, and only after that does the wart get dabbed – do it the other way round and the treatment rinses straight off, so weeks of patient dabbing come to nothing. The order is not a small detail here, it is the whole point of the treatment.
A picture sequence makes that order visible instead of leaving it in the head of whichever adult happens to be helping that evening. Picture one is the foot bath, picture two is drying carefully, especially between the toes, picture three is applying the liquid. With the same three images out every night, nobody has to remember or argue, and your child can take over more of the steps as the weeks pass.
One tip that tends to help: keep the bottle in a small bowl together with the towel, and only put the bowl out once the feet are dry. That makes it physically obvious that the brush comes last.
