I have about 100 pairs of shoes, some tennis shoes, some flip flops, some dress shoes, etc. I recently moved an have noticed that my entire closet smells like dirty socks. I have read some reviews on SCOE 10X Concentrated Odor Eliminator. Anyone ever tried that for this problem or know of any other solutions?

You need to start pitching the stinky ones, and wash your feet more.

Hi washing the sneakers in the machine should do the trick on them but make sure they get REALLY DRY. The boots can't do the wash thing you can try fabreeze also the suggestion for socks full of baking soda a nice idea, I wouldn't put a bunch of baby powder in there you'll just wind up with a toe jam factory refuel from that. You can also try getting some charcoal put that in a small brown bag or some socks and put that down in for a few days charcoal is a natural dessicant (draws moisture into itself and it will draw smells away into itself) now were not talking about the briquets you use in the grill it needs to be real charcoal. (see first link) Also try finding him a set of boot dryers, see second link below and more.

Well, you might want to consider getting some odor eaters... put a box of baking soda in your closet... That will help eliminate odors...Also, if you have that many pairs of shoes it might be a good idea to sort them out and get rid of one's that are not fitting, stinky or not worn... Also, you can wash some shoes in the washing machine to get rid of foot funk.... Put an air freshener in the closet

Place a small bowl of white vinegar in the closet and seal the door. Make sure all of the shoes are in there. keep it closed for 36 hours. The odor will be gone.

Wash the walls, shelves, and floor with a solution of baking soda and water.
I would look for a way to clean the shoes or maybe buy plastic boxes to store them in so this doesn't happen again.
I'd also look for a solution to keep your feet from perspiring so heavily.

i'd try some baking soda on the carpet and then vaccum it up, if that doesn't work i'd try a solid odor absorber.
