Banish Shoe Odor with These Simple Home Remedies

Shoe Odor Woes? Simple Home Remedies Offer Fresh Solutions Are you tired of smelly shoes? A recent video by Clean With Mei (@clean.withmei) has gone viral, offering two simple and effective methods for deodorizing footwear. The first method targets mesh shoes prone to odor and yellowing. Mei explains, "For smelly shoes, you can use povidone iodine from the pharmacy, soak the shoes for 10 minutes, then dissolve one small bottle of vitamin C in hot water, pour it in and place the shoes into the solution." This solution is shown to effectively remove odors and restore the shoes’ original color. For leather shoes, which cannot be soaked, Mei suggests an alternative: "Spray floral water onto a tissue, then spray alcohol onto the shoes, place everything in a sealed bag and let it sit for 12 hours." This method, she explains, disinfects and removes odors. The video’s simplicity and effectiveness have resonated with viewers, highlighting the power of everyday household items to solve common problems. The tips shared offer a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution to a common problem, making them valuable for a broad audience.
