How to remove the odor of new shoes

Many people find that the shoes they buy have a strong odor. Regardless of whether the shoes are made of cowhide, sheepskin, plastic or other materials, some will produce some odor to a certain extent, which is very distressing. How to remove the odor of new shoes? Everyone has different ways of dealing with this problem. Some people put the shoes on the balcony to cool, but this can easily cause the shoes to deform. Is there a better way?

What do you put in your new shoes to remove odor?

1. For newly bought shoes, spray some 50-degree liquor evenly on the insoles or sponge bottoms until they are completely wet and saturated, then dry them in the sun. After this treatment, it is less likely that bad odor will be produced when wearing shoes. If it is washable rubber shoes or sandals, after washing and drying, you can also use the same method to treat them.

2. Put dehydrated alum or quicklime powder in a small cloth bag, sew the mouth of the bag and put it into the shoes before going to bed. It can not only remove odor from shoes, but also absorb moisture.

3. Before going to bed, put the dried waste tea leaves into nylon socks, and then stuff them into smelly shoes. Tea leaves can absorb moisture in shoes and remove odors. The amount of tea needed for an adult's shoes is about one cup.

Different ways to remove odor from shoes

1. Sneakers: For newly bought sneakers, take a piece of slightly hard paper, wrap the mothballs, find a tool to crush them, and sprinkle the mothball powder evenly inside the shoes. Since the mothballs cannot come into direct contact with the feet, you need to put insoles on them. Shoes filled with mothball powder can also play a good antibacterial role, killing a large number of bacteria that multiply due to moisture. A pair of shoes only needs about one mothball.

2. Hiking shoes: Sprinkle a small amount of fine salt or baking soda in the hiking shoes to eliminate the odor in the shoes.

3. Leather shoes: Usually, new leather shoes have both the smell of adhesive and the smell of leather, but the smell of adhesive will fade after wearing for a period of time, while the smell of leather will always remain, but it will become lighter than when they were first bought. Therefore, to deodorize new leather shoes, you need to put some activated carbon in the shoes, but remember that the activated carbon must be wrapped in breathable paper. If you accidentally get the activated carbon into the shoes, it will be difficult to clean. 4. Canvas shoes: Put some grapefruit peels in the shoes to refresh the air and deodorize.

However, the most economical way is to put it in a ventilated place for a few days after washing, which can also remove most of the odors. But in fact, if you want to remove all odors in a short time, it is basically impossible no matter what method you use.
