Before going to bed, some housewives do something unusual: they take previously collected orange peels and put them in their shoes.

Citrus residue appears in shoes, boots, sneakers or boots.

At first, the procedure may seem very strange and meaningless.

But if you learn about the effect of using orange peel, it becomes clear that such action brings great benefits.

When should you put citrus peel in your shoes?

The procedure makes sense in a situation where the shoes have started to smell very unpleasant.

This happens very often: shoes and sneakers become soaked with sweat and moisture, resulting in the active reproduction of bacteria in them.

Orange peels are exactly what help to cope with the problem. Such fruit waste has "absorbent" properties. In other words, they remove water and excess "aromas".

A few hours are enough to get the desired result. Therefore, it is worth putting orange peels in your shoes before going to bed: then the unpleasant smell will disappear by morning.

Instead of a stench, a very bright and interesting aroma will appear.
