Baking soda is one of those household helpers that you always have on hand, but you rarely realize how many great things you can do with it. While during the year you mostly use it for baking or cleaning, in December it gets a completely new use, directly in your shoes. It removes odors. As?
During the day, winter shoes such as boots are exposed to moisture, sweat and closed environments where odors easily accumulate. If you spend all day on your feet, it’s no wonder that in the evening, when you wear them, you will be greeted by an unpleasant smell that you would rather not experience. Such an odor can make the whole evening unpleasant.

Baking soda isn’t just for cleaning. Thanks to it, your shoes will be fresh and ready for the next day.
The procedure is easy. In the evening, when you come home, just pour a teaspoon of baking soda into your shoes. Soda starts working immediately. It neutralizes odors, absorbs moisture and eliminates the bacteria behind odors. In the morning, you simply pour out or knock out the soda and the shoes are as good as new. This trick is especially useful if you wear shoes without removable, washable insoles. Soda will provide a fresh smell, while not harming the shoes in any way.
Best of all, baking soda is gentle not only on your shoes, but also on your budget. For a few crowns, you can ensure the cleanliness that you would otherwise be looking for in expensive preparations. In addition, it is an ecological solution that is safe for health and the environment. You don’t need any chemicals or special sprays, just a little powder from the kitchen cupboard.
A bag for multiple uses
But baking soda is not only for one-time use. You can use it to make reusable bags. Just fill a cloth bag or sock with a little baking soda, tie a knot and insert it into your shoes. This homemade deodorant will work for a long time, so you won’t have to think about doing something with your shoes every morning. In short, baking soda is a small miracle that will save you worries and improve everyday comfort.
