9 Tips To Make Your Shoes Smell No Longer.
Do your shoes smell bad?
Don't stay like that! Think about those around you ...
But wait before you buy deodorant sprays to get rid of those unpleasant smells in smelly shoes!
Sometimes it doesn't take much to remove bad odors from our sneakers, shoes, pumps or espadrilles.
Here are the 9 tips to stop your shoes from smelling bad:
1. Toothpaste
To remove odor from your shoes, consider toothpaste.
Use a toothbrush full of toothpaste to clean hard-to-reach places. Slip it into the inside folds of sneakers or even at the bottom of ballerinas that contain bad smells.
This trick also works for cleaning rubber on shoes. Find out how by clicking right here: The Amazing Tip to Clean Your Sneakers Effectively.
2. The socks
Never a sneaker without socks! If you wear closed-toe shoes, socks keep your feet from sweating. And therefore inevitably, this trick limits bad smells.
3. The freezer
You can put your shoes in the freezer to remove the odors a bit. But remember to put your shoes in a tightly closed bag if you don't want to end up with foot odor all over the freezer!

4. The miracle house recipe
Combine baking soda, dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. Leave on your shoes for 1 hour and, with a little elbow grease, remove stains and odors. Rinse.
5. Methylated alcohol
To clean your non-machineable shoes, mix methylated spirits with a little water. Rub with a cotton, cloth or apply with a spray.
It destroys the bacteria that cause bad odors!
If your shoes smell really bad, you can rinse them with this same mixture to remove bad odors.
6. Magic sponges
Nothing like magic sponges to clean the soles and plastic parts of your shoes.
I found some really cheap on the internet.
7. New soles
If your shoes smell bad, go for this simple little trick: swap your old soles for new ones!
8. The machine and the dryer
After cleaning your shoes, it is recommended to give them a spin in the machine to rinse them well.
To do it right, here's how to machine wash sneakers properly.
And you can also tumble dry them. But be careful not to damage the dryer or the shoes by following this tip.
9. The bomb
In the end, if nothing works, buy a special shoe deodorant spray. Many of them are at 12 € like this sanitizing and deodorizing spray.
