Should Christians washing each others feet be a regular occurrence.. I believe I happens in some churches once in a while, but maybe it should be done regularly as a practice in humility?

“It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.”
‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬, ‭13‬-‭15‬, ‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Sure !
Wash their feet, wash their car, wash their windows.
Submit yourself to others.

It is something the Lord gave us as an example for humility & service to others. Apart from humility etc., it does not seem binding and I believe the Lord gave us other examples that we must take to heart. Examples like the good Samaritan ( Luke 10:25-37) & how sinful pride is unfaithful and undermines otherwise good works ( Luke 18:9-14).
