As we wrap up hiking season and move into sports season, our shoes and boots might need a little love.
I found this lovely option from The Homemade Experiment and decided to give it a try! I had some arrow root from a friend when I was thinking about home made deodorants (spoiler alert… i didn’t like them, i went cold turkey)
This combination of ingredients seems like just the right trick to help my hiking boots from messing up the environment in the bedroom!
Shoe Deodorizer
Notes
Choose oder friendly flavors – lavender, vetiver,
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Baking Soda
- 1/2 cup Arrowroot Powder
- 10 – 20 drops Essential Oil
- square pieces of cloth
Instructions
- Add 1/2 cup baking soda.
- Add 1/2 cup arrowroot powder to bowl.
- Sprinkle in 10-20 drops essential oils. (optional)
- Mix ingredients together to break up any clumps.
- Cut 4-6 pieces of twine about 10-12 inches long.
- Measure and cut cloth into 10×10 inch squares.
- Scoop about a golf ball size amount of the deodorizing mixture on to the center of your fabric square.
- Gather corners of fabric together.
- Tie together
Verdict:
These satchels work better than a spray version i found. You can also replace the powder when they stop working easily.
I keep the extra powder in a jar with a left over 1-2 tbl scoop inside and labeled. Ready to add to existing satchels if needed.
If you try this recipe let me know what you think, what essential oils you chose and how it worked!
