Home storage

Place your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place because in a humid environment on a rainy day, storing your shoes in a closed cabinet will lead to mold. A small tip for you is to put some dry newspaper or a desiccant bag to prevent bacteria from "nesting" in your shoes.

Shoe cabinets should be airy and dry.

Shoe Deodorizer

Wearing shoes for a long time will accumulate sweat inside, especially in the insoles, causing an unpleasant odor. On wet rainy days, favorable environmental conditions make it easy for bacteria to grow and multiply.

Therefore, in order not to affect your health and the life of your shoes, Giffan suggests some ways to make your shoes not smell immediately:

• Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and leave it overnight.
• Put salt in a plastic bag, then put it in the shoe cage.
• Rub the inside of the shoes with a towel soaked in apple cider vinegar, then let the shoes dry, you will no longer feel any unpleasant odors.
