An unpleasant smell can accompany not only worn shoes, but also new ones (most often in the latter case, low-grade material is to blame). However, the problem of the smell of shoes can be fought, and very quickly, the main thing is to know how.
We remove the smell of new shoes
An unpleasant smell can accompany not only old long-worn shoes, but also brand new. If you, coming from the store, felt that the new thing you bought exudes an unpleasant odor, then it must be aired. If this method does not help, then you should use other, more effective methods. First of all, wipe all shoes with a soft cloth soaked with hydrogen peroxide or a solution of potassium permanganate (you need to wipe both the outer and inner sides). Allow the shoes to dry, then repeat the procedure. Next, take a special deodorant for shoes and treat them with the inside of the shoe.
The regular flour relieves the bad smell pretty well. Pour a small amount of flour into the shoes and leave it there for several hours. After time, vacuum the new thing, then put one cotton pad soaked in vinegar in the shoes. Wait an hour or two, then ventilate the shoes.
Remove bad breath from old shoes
To get rid of the smell in worn shoes is much more difficult than in a new one, but it is possible. Dry each time after wearing, for this you can purchase a special device in the form of an ultraviolet dryer (this invention can not only dry shoes in a short time, but also kill fungal formations).
If this is possible (style and material allows), then shoes should be washed every week (this applies to sneakers and sneakers).
We remove the smell of sweat from worn shoes
Timely change of insoles, as well as wearing exclusively cotton socks will help to significantly reduce the smell of sweat. To remove or reduce the smell of sweat of worn shoes will help those methods described above, for example, frequent ventilation, wiping with a solution of potassium permanganate, as well as special deodorants. It is worth noting that the latter happen both for shoes (they mask the consequences) and for the legs (they remove the cause of the unpleasant smell).
