Warm summer days bring more than just good points. The downsides of heat can be considered the terrible smell of some people's shoes due to the rapid growth of bacteria in a warm and humid environment. It happens that this happens if the shoes are tight and poorly ventilated, and maybe sweating of the legs is a feature of the body. In any case, there are ways to defeat the bad smell.

In a dry environment, the number of bacteria is sharply reduced, and therefore the shoes need to be dried well either with heating devices or in the sun. First you need to pull out the laces and raise the tongue of the shoes.

Shoes can be frozen and then dried in the sun. There is much evidence of the effectiveness of this odor control method. To do this, shoes placed in a plastic bag are put all night in the freezer.

In well-dried shoes for the night, you need to put orange peels, because of the high content of essential oils they create a deodorizing effect. An alternative to orange peels can be any essential oil (lavender, for example, or tea tree), a few drops of which are applied to the insole of the shoe.

Cloth shoes can be washed using a washing machine, but the centrifuge must be turned off. It must be washed by placing it in an old pillowcase or together with a pair of old towels. Water should not be very hot, and it is desirable to add white vinegar to it. Washed shoes need to be dried outdoors.

It is necessary to prepare a deodorizing powder with antiseptic properties and absorbing odors. It is made from one tablespoon of corn starch, three tablespoons of baking soda and a few drops of tea tree oil. For these compounds, worn shoes are handled internally and left overnight. This is an excellent remedy for combating fungus.

A good way to dry your shoes and get rid of the smell is a simple newspaper that needs to be crumpled and placed inside the shoe for a while, preferably at night. For the same purpose, a cat litter is suitable. After drying in this way, newspapers or filler are simply thrown away.
