In summer, shoes can emit an unpleasant odor. UAportal has prepared simple and practical solutions to combat the problem with the help of ordinary household items.

Using baking soda

Baking soda can be sprinkled directly into the shoes, making sure it covers the entire inner surface. Leave it in your shoes overnight to absorb unpleasant odors.

In the morning, you can shake off any excess baking soda before putting your shoes back on. This inexpensive and simple remedy can be repeated as many times as needed to maintain a fresh scent.

Tea bags

Dry tea bags, such as black tea, can be placed in your shoes and left overnight to absorb odor and moisture. This process is a versatile solution to dealing with unpleasant odors.

Freezing

You can effectively reduce unwanted odor by placing your shoes in a plastic bag in the freezer overnight. This is because the bacteria that produce the odor are killed by the low temperature. It is important to remember to let the shoes thaw for 12 hours.
