The DIY Deodorizer That Will Make Your Stinky Shoes Smell Fresh
By MACY SEARS
If you're struggling with persistent shoe odor, an all-natural DIY deodorizer can make your stinky shoes smell fresh again. This quick and easy home remedy offers rapid results.
To begin, take 2 tablespoons of baking soda and place it in a thin cloth or paper towel to create a sachet. You can choose to add a few drops of essential oil for added fragrance.
Securely tie the pouch and repeat the steps to create a new sachet for the other shoe. Once both bags are prepared, place one inside each of the shoes and leave them overnight.
The next day, remove the sachets and discard them. Spray the shoes with rubbing alcohol to eliminate any lingering bacteria, and let them dry fully in the sun or in front of a fan.
