This mainly concerns the unpleasant smell of feet that shoes emit. Starch, if you pour it into shoes or sneakers, will absorb excess moisture, and with it the unpleasant smell.

Second: ironing

You can not only starch shirt collars, but also smooth out creases in clothing. To do this, dissolve starch in water and treat the wrinkled fabric with the solution.
