Washing Machine

As long your sneakers aren’t made of suede or leather, you can wash them in the washing machine by placing them in a pillowcase or mesh bag and putting them in the washing machine along with some linens that need washing. Wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Try to get off as much debris as you can before washing them so as to minimize what the washer needs to take off.

Powder

To help with stench, sprinkle some baby powder or baking soda inside your shoes and leave overnight. The powder will absorb the smell. When it’s time to put them on again, pour out the powder. If you like, use a wet wipe to wipe the inside clean and let them dry before putting them on.

Air Them Out

On the day-to-day, the most important thing you can do is air our your shoes as soon as you take them off. Remove your sneakers immediately after working out, remove insoles, and place either somewhere cool and dry or directly in the sunlight to let them air out and help discourage bacteria from growing.

Stress

When we get stressed, it’s common to start sweating. When you get anxious, your body activates the hormone cortisol, which makes you sweat. The sweat then gets trapped in your clothes and combines with bacteria, which can lead to an unpleasant smell.

Clothes

Natural fibers like cotton, wool, and linen soak sweat and allow it to evaporate. But synthetic fibers like rayon, polyester, and nylon repel water and sweat, making your sweat smell even worse.

Deodorant

While deodorants are meant to help keep smells away, they can actually make the problem worse. Ingredients in some antiperspirants, deodorants, body sprays, body washes, and lotions make the smell worse. Instead, wash yourself with plain water or use lemon juice diluted with water or apple cider vinegar to inhibit bacteria growth.

Medication

Many medications including over-the-counter pain relievers, allergy meds, prescription anti-depressants, ADHD meds, and birth control have increased sweating or body odor as a side effect.

Foods

Sweets, fried foods, baked goods, onions, garlic, and spicy foods can cause your sweat to smell. So try and avoid these foods if you notice your sweat has a bad odor.
