Summer is the heat, walks and … an unpleasant surprise: the shoes begin to smell so that it is a shame, and the shoe cabinet in the hallway turns into a torture camera. I don’t want to buy new sneakers and expensive deodorants, but it is impossible to endure the smell. Good news: there is a detailed plan that has already saved more than one couple of shoes this summer.
- First, take out insoles and laces – let the shoes “take a look”, and all the details separately go to the washing.
- Wipe the shoes with a cotton pad with 9% vinegar from the inside. Bacteria die, and the vinegar smell itself quickly disappears.
- Pour 1 teaspoon of soda inside and leave it overnight. She will pull the remnants of the smell and moisture.
- Wash insoles with household soap and dry well.
- Dry the shoes in the sun or at the fan – the sun perfectly finishes the unpleasant odor, but do not leave for a long time so that the fabric does not burn out.
- Treat inside pharmacy boric acid or chlorhexidine – the spray disinfects and neutralizes any “aromas”.
- Drop a drop of lavender or lemon essential oil – there will be a light fresh smell and not a drop of humidity.
Additional tips from the TG channel “Marina Zhukova, housewife, expert, blogger” (16+):
If the smell is strong, throw the shoes for a couple of hours in the freezer, of course, having previously put in a bag – the bacteria disappear with the “amber”. Children's pouring and starch also work perfectly instead of soda, and the newspaper will eliminate all the extra moisture.
