Would you love some easy tricks to keep shoes from smelling at your house?
Goodness knows, no one wants to have a bunch of stinky shoes. Thankfully there are some really easy ways to help remedy that stink and make all those shoes more tolerable once again!
It’s time to make the shoes in your home a lot less stinky…
Keep Shoes From Smelling
1. Replace Insoles – Insoles can often be the cause of the stink. So an easy solution is to just replace them! After awhile, I remove all of my insoles and replace with Superfeet. An added bonus? They’ve got great support, too… so your feet and back will thank you!
2. Use Sneaker Balls – I seriously LOVE sneaker balls! When your favorite tennies aren’t in use, simply pop one sneaker ball in each shoe, and let them do their job… deodorizing your shoes!
3. Freeze your Flip Flops – What?!? Yep… you heard me right. If your flip flops have gotten a bit stinky over time, simply place them in a large ziploc bag, add some baking soda in the bag, and freeze overnight. In the morning, remove them from the bag, and allow them to thaw out completely. Dust off any remaining baking soda, and your flip flops will be all freshened up and ready to go!
4. Wash your Shoes – That’s right… just throw them in the wash, it’ll be grand! If your shoes are washable, simply remove insoles, place in a pillow case, tie up the end of the pillow case, and wash on a gentle, handwash cycle. Allow to air dry completely once done.
5. Freshen with Lavendar Baking Soda – If you’ve still got some stink going on, before going to bed simply sprinkle inside your shoes with a bit of Lavendar Baking Soda. Then allow it to absorb odors overnight.
6. Soak Your Feet in Black Tea! What?!? That’s right! Frugal friend Jan writes: “Soaking my feet in a strong black tea for about 30 minutes has worked”. It just may help kill some bacteria on your feet and close up some pores… which in turn might help you have less sweaty feet. Bonus!
