Surely you have noticed, especially in summer, that your shoes start to smell bad. Take the lead right now with this very simple yet brilliant trick.
Smelly shoes are often an irritating problem, as the smell also carries over to socks and feet. Smelly feet can also cause awkward social situations, when people wonder where the nasty smell that seems to be coming from your shoes is coming from.
Many people therefore regularly wash their shoes in the washing machine to eliminate odours. There is, however, a “shoe deodorant” that saves you time and effort. The shoes also stay dry, which means you don’t have to wait for them to dry. It is also important to remember that some shoes do not hold up to machine or hand washing, hence the need to use other methods.
To perform this simple trick, you will need:
- A tea bag
- A small funnel
- Baking soda powder
- A stapler or something else to reseal the bag
- A Kinder-type plastic surprise egg
- A small nail or a large needle
- Smelly shoes (naturally)
How to do ?
- Open the tea bag and discard the contents.
- Place the funnel inside the tea bag and pour baking soda into it to fill it.
- Fold the tea bag and close it with the stapler.
- Place the tea bag inside the plastic surprise egg.
- Poke holes with the needle or nail in the end of the surprise egg.
- Your “deodorant” is ready! Place it inside your shoe.
- Change the baking soda when you notice the freshener’s effectiveness diminishing.
