Recycle Tea leaves for Smelly Shoes

Do you know you can recycle your used tea bags for your smelly feet. Smelly feet can be truly awkward for one for social contact and especially when you desire a close contact with your loved ones. To say good bye to smelly feet, besides taking some useful preventive measures like strict maintenance of feet hygiene such as wear clean socks daily, you can steep your used tea bags in a basin of warm water and immerse your feet in the basin.

To enhance the effectiveness, you should also slot the dried tea leaves bag into your shoes when you take it out. This will help you to eliminate the smell that remains in your shoes. Remember, you will be wearing the shoes that smells and so you can imagine your feet to smell the same way if you solve the shoe problem. If possible, alternate the shoes you wear and try not to wear them consecutively everyday.
