Coffee grounds, don’t throw them away: put them in your shoes and you’ll thank me | Everyone does it

Ingredients and common objects at home that come in handy in a thousand ways

Just use ingredients or objects that anyone has at home, often in the kitchen, to eliminate the strong and unpleasant odor from any surface. This is the case of coffee grounds which, spread inside shoes, give amazing results.

Shoes that are worn for a whole day to work, or while training or simply to go out and do some shopping, usually once removed, give off a bad smell that cannot be counteracted with any indicated product. Closed shoes are particularly stinky , but open-toe shoes are no joke either.

How to use coffee grounds to neutralize odors

The coffee grounds should be poured into the shoes, but they must be completely dry to do their job best. The drying step is essential, because only in these conditions can they act as a deodorant.

Coffee grounds can be used not only inside shoes, but also in many places in the house to absorb bad odors.

The first thing to do is empty the coffee pot perhaps onto a separate plate or bowl to ensure that they dry quickly. In summer they will dry in less than a day, in winter it may take a little longer.

Once ready, you can crumble them inside your shoes and after a maximum of 5 hours take them off, shaking them well on the floor. Bad smells will no longer exist. There are those who, to avoid the difficulty of cleaning, put them in a handkerchief or in an open bag placed inside the shoe.
