It should come as no surprise that shoes have become a source of unpleasant odor.
The feet sweat, which is what causes the stench.
This problem can arise both in hot summer, when feet sweat even in open shoes, and in frosty winter, when you have to wear warm shoes and thick socks.
However, the appearance of an extra “aroma” should not upset a person.
The thing is that it is very easy to deal with the problem. To do this, it is enough to use one of the following means.
Baking soda
One of the interesting properties of this product is the absorption of moisture and odors.
Thus, soda helps to rid boots, shoes or sneakers of sweat fumes, reports MOS SMI .
You need to take a loose product and treat the insoles with it. It is enough to simply sprinkle the shoe insert with two spoons of sodium bicarbonate. After a few hours, the unpleasant smell will disappear.
Orange
Of course, you don't need the whole fruit, just the peel. You just need to put orange (or tangerine) peel in your boots.
The positive effect will appear after just a few hours.
Essential oils
This product will instantly “mask” the stench.
Thus, the essential oil can be applied immediately after removing the shoes: the stench will disappear immediately. In addition, a pleasant aroma will appear.
Talc
It has the same properties as baking soda - absorbing odor and moisture.
Talc should be used in the same way as sodium bicarbonate. In addition, it makes sense to rub the powder on your feet: then less sweat will appear.
Mint
One sprig of this plant, left in a shoe for several hours, will rid the shoe of excess “aroma”.
