How to clean and disinfect shoes?
When was the last time you cleaned and disinfected the inside of your shoes? If you wear closed shoes, such as standard business shoes, the answer is most probably ‘never’. Using water to clean your shoes may damage them, shoe sprays only cover bad odors without actually cleaning the shoes and UV light systems simply kill germs without removing residues and dirt particles. Cleaning shoes from the inside helps fight illness-causing bacteria and prevent foot diseases such as athlete’s foot and fungal nails.
The common misbelief is that shoe odor is caused by sweat. It is actually bacteria within the shoes that create the typical bad odor. Dust and dirt can build up in the shoes, forming an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and fungus. Depending on the level of activity, the amount of sweat within the shoes can amount to 0.2 liters a day. This humidity combined with bacteria can be the cause of various foot illnesses such as athlete’s foot and fungal nails and bad odor in the shoes. Effectively eliminating bacteria and residues from within the shoes is the only way to significantly and permanently reduce shoe odors.
Starting your day with uncomfortable shoes or aching feet is never good.
