Simply pour some into your shoes and let them sit overnight. The powder will soak up excess moisture while you sleep, leaving your kicks clean and dry in the morning.

Tuck a new dryer fabric softener sheet into each sneaker and leave overnight to neutralize odours (just remember to pull them out before wearing the sneaks). It\u2019s also a great idea to deodorize places where you store your shoes, such as your gym bag. Drop a dryer sheet into the bottom of a gym bag and leave it there until your nose lets you know it\u2019s time to renew it.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"' wp-image-7574 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/shoe-deodorizer-hacks-fabric-softener-sheets-300x225.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"495\"' height='\"371\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/legendstitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shoe-deodorizer-hacks-fabric-softener-sheets-300x225.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><h2>Salt\n</h2><p>Sneakers and other canvas shoes can get pretty smelly, especially if you wear them without socks in the summertime.
