The procedure for removing shoe odor with tea bags
If you are a canvas shoe user, you can remove the smell by washing it in the washing machine, but this method won’t keep the smell away for long. Moreover, it is not applicable to all kinds of shoes.
So here the hack shared by blogger Lindsey acts as our savior from embarrassing situations.
Step 1
Anyone can guess the first item that you are going to be in need of achieving beautiful smell shoes. Yes, it’s the tea bag!
At first, you have to get two unused tea bags (each bag for one shoe). Do not worry as you don’t have to take any specific tea.
All kind of tea bags works for smelly shoes, but yeah herbal tea bags would give a more delicate scent.
Step 2
Then dip the tea bags into boiling water for more than a minute. Not much. Remember, you are not making tea.
Bad joke, I know.
Use a fork to bring out the warm tea bags safely unless your hand can get burned.
Step 3
Once you are done with level 2, let the bags cool for some minutes, as this will help you to proceed further with your hands.
The boiled bag can harm the sole as well if it holds excess temperature.
Step 4
When the warm bags have cooled down, place the tea bag in the shoe. But before that, ensure the bags are sodden due to soaking.
This dampness will enable tannins to saturate the bad smell from the shoe’s insole, eventually resulting in expelling the bad smell from your shoes.
Step 5
You need to keep the tea bags for about 60 minutes. If the tea bags were held for almost an hour, it works well to remove the bad odor from the shoes.
Step 6
Lastly, take out the tea bags from the inside of the shoes. You can enjoy a pleasant smell from your shoes. Now you won’t face any embarrassing moments while putting off your shoes for sure.
Another method of how to remove shoe odor with tea bags
The shoe odor removal process by putting tea bags inside the shoe is a bit time-consuming.
But if you are looking for a faster solution, then you should go for shoe deodorizers. There are many shoe deodorizers available in the market industry, but the effect of those would not last long. This is why we recommend tea deodorizers instead of the market ones.
The items that you will need to make a deodorizer with tea bags are
- A void tea bag,
- Channel,
- Baking soda,
- A spoon,
- A medium capsule,
- A drawing pin, and
- A stapler.
Step to make a shoe deodorizer with tea bags is given below-
Step 1
Use the channel to pour the baking soda into the tea pack. Don’t pour too much. Two-thirds would be fine. 
Step 2
Now lock the tea pack by stapling it. Make sure it is stapled properly, and the soda won’t overflow. Then you have to put the tea pack into the capsule.
Step 3
After putting the tea pack into the capsule, now use the drawing pin and make hole holes over the container as this will help the tea pack to suck up the sodden and smell from the insole.
Step 4
When you are done with the steps, set it inside the shoe and make sure to refill the container from time to time.
