Étape 1
Baking soda: a natural deodorizer that absorbs odors.
Étape 2
Cornstarch: helps to absorb moisture.
Étape 3
Essential oils: adds a pleasant scent and can have antibacterial properties.
Étape 4
Distilled water: water that has been boiled into vapor and condensed back into liquid in a separate container; it’s free of impurities.
Étape 5
In the small bowl, mix together the baking soda and cornstarch.
Étape 6
Add the essential oil drops to the mixture. Choose an oil like tea tree for its antibacterial properties or lavender for a soothing scent. Stir well with the whisk to ensure even distribution of the oils.
Étape 7
Slowly add distilled water to your dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you create a thin paste.
Étape 8
Pour the mixture into your spray bottle using a funnel if necessary. Make sure your solution is smooth and homogenized.
Étape 9
Your homemade shoe deodorizer is now ready to use !
Mon astuce de grand-mère
If you find the smell particularly stubborn, leave an open box of baking soda inside each shoe overnight. Baking soda will continue absorbing odors even when dry.
How to Use Your DIY Shoe Deodorizer
Spray generously inside each shoe. Let them sit for about five minutes before wiping away any excess product with a clean cloth. For best results, use on your shoes regularly to maintain freshness.
