What to do if the shoes have odor and can't be removed

During festivals, we can't avoid visiting other people's homes, but some people are always afraid or even terrified to take off their shoes. When they enter the house and change into slippers, the sour feeling and the strange looks are enough to confuse everyone. That is the most embarrassing time and they want to find a hole to hide in. So they develop the habit of not taking off shoes when visiting others. In fact, the odor of shoes is not impossible to relieve. Just follow the steps below to say goodbye to the embarrassing situation at that time.

1. Reasons for shoe odor

①Shoes

Newly bought shoes will have a smell of rubber and glue, and some materials will cause severe sweating of the feet, which will cause the shoes to have an odor over time. Leather shoes cannot be washed with water, so we can put dried orange peels, dried tangerine peels, etc. inside the shoes. After a few days, the smell in the shoes will gradually disappear. If the new shoes smell bad, we can also put the new shoes in a ventilated place. After a few days, the odor in the shoes will disappear.

②Foot problems

Some people have athlete's foot and need to take medication to treat it. We should pay attention to washing our feet every day. If we don’t wash our feet often, our shoes will become smelly.

2. Preventive measures for shoe odor

If there is a smell and the shoes are washable, we can put some laundry detergent or washing powder in the water and wash them, and then the odor will go away after drying. In addition to washing your feet every day, you should also pay attention to not wearing your shoes for several days at a time. Shoes can only be worn for three days at most and need to be washed once. You can add laundry detergent, laundry liquid, etc. Washing your shoes frequently will not produce odor. Charcoal can also deodorize. When you don't wear your shoes, put a piece of charcoal in them to remove the odor. Before wearing shoes, put gauze soaked in a little lemon juice or perfume into your shoes to remove odors. Put a small bag of quicklime in the shoes (a desiccant commonly found in foods such as snow rice cakes). For shoes that cannot be washed with water, such as leather shoes, we can use a shoe dryer to remove odors. After taking off the shoes at night, the shoe dryer is used to remove the odor in the shoes. The effect is very good. It can not only remove odors but also dehumidify.

3. Treatment measures for shoe odor

To deodorize shoes, you can first prepare a small box, then use a sharp object to poke a few small holes on the lid of the box and hide it for future use. Put two-thirds of baking soda into the box, and then add a few drops of toilet water. The smell of shoes cannot withstand the power of baking soda. It is recommended to spray baking soda water on the shoe upper or shoelaces at will, leave it overnight, and remove the baking soda in the morning. In addition, you can go to the pharmacy to buy a bottle of medicinal alcohol, pour a little on a plate, add water to dilute it, dip it with a paper towel, and then blow the paper towel gently with your mouth to blow the alcohol onto the insole.
