We have all had those days, especially during monsoon, when we don’t feel like stepping out of the house just because it’s raining and you can get your shoes dirty and muddy. Besides, it is not just your feet that require care during monsoon, your footwear needs attention too in order to make them last longer and look good as new. Here are few tips and tricks that will help take care of your footwear in the rains.
Material required:
Newspaper or Tissue paper
Toothpaste
Toothbrush
Tea bags
Storage
There is a lot of humidity and moisture in the air that can affect your shoes. It can cause fungus and ruin the shoes’ quality. A smart way of escaping such an issue is to make sure you store your footwear in a dry place. One can also stuff the shoes in monsoon with newspaper or tissue paper. This will keep your shoes dry and soak in all the moisture.
Cleaning your sneakers
With so much mud on the streets during monsoon, the white soles of your shoes tend to get dirty. To clean them easily and make them white again, you can use toothpaste. Take the toothpaste onto a toothbrush and rub it on the white parts of your shoes like you would normally brush your teeth. After thoroughly brushing through your shoes, wipe the toothpaste off with a damp cloth or a tissue paper. Viola! Your shoes are as good as new.
Stinky shoes
During the rainy season, due to the moisture, your feet tend to get smelly, which is transferred to the footwear. Easy fix for this problem is to put tea bags in your shoes and leave them overnight. The tea bags soak the stinky smell in your shoes. Thus saving you from the embarrassment of having smelly feet or smelly shoes.
