It would seem that soda is needed exclusively for baking, and the purpose of hygienic lipstick is to protect lips from wind and frost, but it is not so.

How to eliminate unpleasant odor in shoes

The problem of sweaty feet is relevant at any time of the year. It is inextricably linked with such troubles as fungus, bacteria and a repulsive smell emanating from shoes.

You can fight this scourge not only with the help of expensive deodorants, which, by the way, often turn out to be ineffective, but also with the help of much more accessible methods, for example, paper and baking soda.

Make small envelopes out of paper or newspaper that will easily fit inside your shoes. Fill them with two tablespoons of baking soda and place them in your shoes.

Soda is a first-class absorbent that copes with the absorption of excess moisture and unpleasant odors with flying colors.

If you want your shoes to have a pleasant aroma after the procedure, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to each of the envelopes.

How to tie shoelaces so they don't come undone

Even those laces that look strong and reliable can come undone at the most inopportune moment.

This problem concerns products made from any fabric – both natural and synthetic.

To avoid awkward situations associated with the need to tie untied laces, it is recommended to pre-treat them with hygienic lipstick.

After applying lipstick, tie a tight knot and go about your business with confidence.

The lipstick contains oils that provide reliable adhesion and prevent laces from untying.
