Sprinkle them with bicarb, leave them overnight and then shake out!!!0

I put my trainers in the washing machine. I also put my summer backless hush puppies and sketchers in there - they are both leather. I was worried they might ruin but thought well i cant wear them stinking so its the washing machine or the bin lol - and they came out fine.
Im not saying u should do this but I am telling u what i do.All my views are just that and do not constitute legal advice in any way, shape or form.£2.00 savers club - £20.00 saved and banked (got a £2.00 pig and not counted the rest)Joined Store Cupboard Challenge]0 -

I have been stupidly wearing my black leather shoes with no socks or tights in this hot weather and they stink - can they be saved??? I have bought some insoles with freshner but is there anything I can do to get the worst out?? Thanks - they have cottony style lining rather than leather so you can imagine the stench has soaked right in!!0
-
Try sprinkling the insides with bicarb of soda, that should help absorb some of the smell!!!0

I am led to believe that placing your shoes inside a plastic bag and then into the freezer will kill the bacteria that cuase the odour.
Haven't tried it myself as i always fear the cold will damage the leather/rubber - but the idea seems sound.Fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere......0 -
Febreeze works a treat.
