When your feet smell too bad because of wearing the shoes for a long time and your friends/family faces the trouble of this; then you can come out of this dirty smell by soaking your feet in a mixture of: 4 table-spoon full baking soda added to 1 liter lukewarm water. Soak your feet for 2-3 minutes in the liquid and wash with this liquid. The bad smell will go away immediatly. Try it and make your family happy.

You only need two items to clean just about everything in your place: vinegar and baking soda. Seriously. Dilute vinegar with water, put it in a spray bottle and it works wonders. Baking soda is a good mild abrasive. -Vinegar is awesome for washing windows, especially if you use newspaper as a rag. It doesn't leave any streaks. -Also, if you've cooked something stinky, you can just boil a cup of vinegar for a few minutes and it'll take care of the smell. -If you've been chopping garlic and the smell gets on your fingers, rub your fingers with salt or lemon juice. It should take care of the smell. -If you lose a back to your earring, just pull an eraser off the top of your pencil and use it to secure your earring.

Hello,oarnamav, i had also searched some tips about remedy for bad smelling foot. Some people just cannot help it their feet smells bad but the problem maybe due to bacteria build up from excessive sweating. To help prevent smelly foot odor there are a number of natural remedies that will freshen up your smelly feet. Use some vinegar and grapefruit seed extract to help eliminate smelly odors. Put ¼ to 1 cup of vinegar in a large bowl full of warm water, add a few drops of liquid grapefruit seed extract, and soak your feet for 15 or 20 minutes daily for a couple of weeks or until your feet stop smelling. The grapefruit seed extract kills the bacteria. Don’t use this mixture if you have open sores on your feet. Another foot soaking that will prevent smelly foot odor is to soak your feet with thyme essential oil. Add a few drops of thyme essential oil to water and soak your feet everyday. The thyme oil helps to cut down on the smelly odor. Again, don’t use this remedy if you have open sores on your feet. This natural remedy may sound weird but try putting some deodorant on your feet to prevent smelly foot odor. If you have smelly feet, when you rub deodorant on your underarms rub some on your feet. However, don’t use any type of deodorant be sure it is a natural antiperspirant that contains sage or coriander, which are herbs that help to cut down on odors. Rub it on your feet once or twice a day until the odor goes away. You can also use some baking soda to help prevent smelly odors. Powder your feet everyday until the smelly odor resides. Another natural remedy to prevent smelly foot odor is homeopathy. Use Silicea if your feet are cold, sweaty, yellow, and smelly. Use Graphite homeopathy if your feet smell whether they are sweating or not. Use Rumex if the sweat has a sour smell to it and try Staphysagria for cold feet that have a rotten egg smell. If your feet are warm and you tend to get sick after soaking them, try some Pulsatilla. For all these homeopathy treatments take 6C potency and stop using after the smelly odor is gone. Finally, try mixing witch hazel with peppermint and geranium essential oils, which can help prevent smelly foot odor. Mix one cup of witch hazel with 20 drops of peppermint and 40 drops of geranium. Put the mixture in a spray bottle and shake well before using. Spray your bare feet in the morning and evening, but let the spray dry before putting on socks or shoes. Changing your diet or at least reducing certain foods can help prevent smelly foot odor. Foods high in fat like, beef, pork, and other types of red meat can cause smelly foot odor. If you have smelly feet, try cutting done or totally eliminating these foods from your diet. However, always check with your doctor before changing diets and reducing or eliminating certain foods from your diet.

OMG! Yes, I know some of my relatives too who seemed to be reluctant while having a sitting where they have to keep off the shoes. truely, it becomes so embarrasing that everybody feels the presence unpleasent and try to say good bye at earliest. Well, I would like to tell them the remedy and hope most of the people would go for the above cited remedy. Thanks friend. Nice to see your discussion.

You can also use baking soda to remove the smell from shoes as well. Place baking sod inside the smelly shoes. Put shoes inside a large ziploc bag and close. Place bag inside the freezer overnight. The baking soda absorbs the smell. And the freezer kills the bacteria.
