Often, feet start to sweat a lot if you wear the same shoes all day.

This causes great inconvenience, especially in summer.

This results in an unpleasant odor.

However, there is one proven life hack that will help eliminate this problem. All you need is one bar of soap and a couple of minutes of your time.

Not everyone knows, but human sweat does not smell at all. If a person just sweats, it does not mean that an unpleasant smell will immediately appear.

After all, people sweat in the bathhouse too, but they don’t feel anything.

The smell occurs because various fungi and microorganisms begin to multiply on the skin. For this reason, the smell remains even if there is no sweat left.

In addition to the fact that sweat can promote the spread of bacteria on the skin, it also causes entire colonies of microorganisms to form on things.

If you don't wash your clothes on time, they will start to smell even if you don't wear them anymore.

The same thing applies to shoes. In the morning, sneakers with sweaty feet can smell much stronger than when the shoes were taken off.

Eliminating unpleasant odor from shoes is easy and simple. Some people simply air out and dry their boots or sneakers.
This is correct, but it will not help to completely eliminate all foreign odors. To 100% eliminate all odors in shoes, you need to use soap.

It is necessary to put a piece of soap in each shoe at night. In the morning, the soap is removed and the result is checked. There will be no unpleasant odors left.
