Sneakers, especially when they are made of genuine leather, are not something you can throw in the washing machine.

But how can you put your shoes in order and get rid of the unpleasant smell that has settled here?

Even if you take the insoles out of your sneakers every night to clean and dry them, you won't be able to get rid of the "odor."

In this case, spices, which can probably be found in every kitchen, will come to the rescue.

In addition to this, you will also need an old sock.

Now that you have all the components at hand, you can get started.

So, to create an improvised air freshener, you will need to fill the hosiery with spices such as cloves, thyme, star anise, lavender, basil, rosemary.

What is especially nice is that you can’t call this sachet disposable – it will last you at least a month.

Simply place a sock filled with spices in your sneaker overnight to get rid of any unpleasant odors.
