Does anyone know a home-made remedy for removing odour from smelly trainers/football boots after exertion?

Answer 1

old pair of tights, cut them in half and tie the ends then fill with crushed burnt toast and put inside the tights then tie. put one in each shoe by morning it should be de-ordorised

Answer 2

Yes, certainly do. I found this remedy about 10years ago & it works a treat + makes sense.

You need to have 2-3 pairs of trainers if their being worn daily otherwise provided their not worn for 3 consecutive days one is fine.

The reason for this is that when people suffer with perspiring feet, their shoes soak up the perspiration & if the shoes dont get time to dry out properly prior to the next time their worn, then you end up with a constant buildup of perspiration & they become smellier & smellier.

Also stick them in a sealed pillowcase or a zip up lingerie bag in the washing machine at least once a month & let them dry thoroughly before they are worn.

Then once their dry & prior to each wear, sprinkle to inside with bicarbonated soda or baking soda.

The soda helps to absorb the sweat & smell, sprinkle them again as soon as they come off the feet so that this can absorb the smell over the 2-3 day rest break of wearing that particular pair & I guarantee you will never have further trouble with this issue. Good luck!!! Janien :-)

Answer 3

I place newspaper inside all of the shoes that i wear regularly, as it absorbs the smell. Always wear different shoes where possible also. Don't wear the same shoes everyday or they will not have time to air out. Scrub the shoe inside and outside with a scrub brush using washing up liquid or some laundry detergent. Take out insole if possible. Make sure shoes is dry completely before wearing or putting away.

Answer 4

Shake a covering of Bicarbonate of Soda into each shoe and leave over night. Tip out in the morning and the trainers will be as fresh as daisies.

Answer 8

There are two good remedies: 1) Wash them, and 2) put them in the fresh air

Answer 9

always use thick socks.. change your socks after every match... dont use the same socks for other shoes vice-versa. let them airdry outside the house especially in the sun for about half an hour. otherwise, just a couple of pieces of charcoal and shoe deodorant might do the trick.

Answer 10

Stick a tea bag in the end of each one and then some orange peel, this will absorb the moisture and eliminate the stinkiness!
