How to get rid of bad shoe odor: a familiar product will help

Several factors contribute to shoe odor: poor-quality materials, namely insoles, and untimely and improper foot hygiene care. All this leads to an awkward situation that makes the owner of the shoes blush.

Even special products cannot always cope with this common problem. But OBOZ.UA has found an effective life hack that will help get rid of it.

Lemon and hydrogen peroxide

These affordable and familiar ingredients are indispensable helpers in the fight against pungent odors. Dampen a cotton pad or dry cloth with peroxide and wipe the inside of your shoes well.

Next, wash the outside of your shoes thoroughly with soapy water. Wait for them to dry, preferably outdoors or in a well-ventilated room.

Then put a slice of lemon in each shoe and leave it for a few hours. The result will surprise you, because the fresh smell of lemon will not only eliminate the pungent aroma, but also, thanks to its antibacterial properties, will destroy all germs and protect the skin from diseases.

You can also use orange or grapefruit, and the effect will be the same.

It is important to dry your shoes well after use, this will reduce the risk of an unpleasant odor.
