Through no fault of our own, we often notice that our shoes begin to develop an odor. This is especially prevalent during the summer months when we are much more active and sweat a lot, but there is a quick and easy solution to get rid of that smell, and it’s probably already in your house. This may surprise you, but tea bags, a staple in most homes, are an inexpensive and surprisingly effective way to freshen up your shoes.

All you have to do is, after using the teabags to make your tea, dry them off with a paper towel before putting them in your smelly shoes, near the toe. Leave them overnight and let them work their magic. Since tea bags are excellent at absorbing odors, the offending odors are drawn out of your shoes and into the used tea bags, meaning all you have to do the next morning is remove the tea bags from your shoes and toss them in the trash.
