Will steam kill toenail fungus on clippers?

Yes, steam can help kill toenail fungus on clippers, as the high temperature of steam effectively destroys many types of fungi and bacteria.

Will vinegar kill toenail fungus?

I have had some success using hydrogen peroxide for toenail fungus. Both big toenails and my left little toenail were almost black and painful to the touch. I started applying peroxide (just about the cheapest thing in the drugstore) to my nails, holding them up slightly to allow the peroxide to go under the nails. The stuff bubbles up and certainly appears to be doing something. I did this day and night for a couple of months and one of my large toenails and the little one cleared up completely. The other toenail has never cleared up but is definitely better. I am still applying the peroxide daily and it's under control but still noticeable. It sure won't cost you much to try this remedy and it can't hurt you, so why not try it? The medicine Lamisil which doctor's prescribe is about $300 a month and most insurance won't cover it. Good luck!
