Shoes often become a source of excess odor.

This can happen after rain, if a person did not consider it necessary to dry wet shoes, boots or sneakers.

The problem can also manifest itself during hot periods, when feet sweat a lot.

High humidity is a great environment for bacteria to grow, which is why shoes start to smell bad.

How to remove the stench? It turns out that you don’t need to perform any complicated actions. It’s enough to put any of the following things in your shoes, boots or sneakers.

Tea bag

Tea bags are excellent at absorbing excess odors and at the same time are sources of a pleasant aroma (especially if there are appropriate additives).

Just put one sachet in each shoe and the stench will soon disappear.

The main thing is to use only dry bags that have never been filled with water.

Orange peel

Dried citrus peels are excellent at masking unpleasant odors.

Therefore, this fruit residue should be placed in shoes that need to be “refreshed”.

Activated carbon

Black tablets have sorbent properties.

Due to this product, excess odors are "absorbed". Shoes stop smelling bad.
