rack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to keep your closet deodorized, it&#8217;s easy to do so without purchasing expensive air fresheners.&nbsp;The method we suggest is to take advantage of the deodorant properties and fragrance of certain spices.&nbsp;Here, we take for example&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>bay leaves or cloves.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013 Bay leaves or cloves, effective spices to deodorize our shoe closets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Get tulle bags and put&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cloves&nbsp;&nbsp;or bay leaves in them.&nbsp;All you have to do is put them in an area of \u200b\u200bthe shoe rack and wait for them to take effect.&nbsp;You will soon discover that they are&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>excellent odor absorbers,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;not to mention

cabinet and enjoy their wonderful aroma.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another complementary gesture is to put sprigs of lavender&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;or ground coffee&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;or even sprigs of basil, sage or lavender in small bowls on the shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dautres-astuces-naturelles-pour-enlever-les-odeurs-persistantes-de-vos-meubles-a-chaussures\">Other natural tricks to eliminate persistent odors from your shoe cabinets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013 White vinegar and water to absorb bad odors from shoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eliminating persistent odors also involves disinfecting the furniture and in this sense, white vinegar stands out as an outstanding disinfectant that at the same time&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>will reduce the smell of perspiration<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.&nbsp;Start by first emptying the cabinet and then spraying vinegar water on the shelves and walls.&nbsp;Wipe with a microfiber cloth dampened with water to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013 Vinegar in a bowl to deodorize the shoe rack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Put a generous amount of white vinegar in a container and then place it inside the rack.&nbsp;Leave it on for 2 hours and then remove it from the spot.&nbsp;The bowl of vinegar thus dissipates bad odors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013 Baking soda, an excellent odor absorber for your shoe racks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Baking soda is recognized as an essential air freshener&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for all types of uses&nbsp;&nbsp;.&nbsp;To use this multi-purpose product on your shoe cabinets, you will sprinkle baking soda on the shelf surfaces and let it sit for 30 minutes before removing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"quelques-mesures-a-prendre-avoir-un-meuble-a-chaussures-depourvu-dodeurs\">A few steps to follow to have an odor-free shoe rack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013 Take care of your shoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another measure to adopt is simply not to neglect your shoes.&nbsp;In fact, you will control odors much better if you leave them constantly clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the one hand, do not hesitate to use talcum powder or even baking soda to fight against the day&#8217;s perspiration.&nbsp;Just put a little on your shoes and leave it on overnight.&nbsp;The next day, shake your shoes to remove the dust and the bad smell will disappear.&nbsp;On the other hand, you can place tea bags inside your shoes to eliminate bad odors and then leave them outside before putting them back in the cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-322432\">Threading shoelaces \u2013 Source: spm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another gesture, and no less important, is to shake your shoes before entering the house&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>to avoid letting dirt enter the shelf<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and thus contribute to the appearance of unpleasant odors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013 Air out your shoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ventilation is in any case a reflex to adopt.&nbsp;If the ventilation of the house is important,
