I have a pair of Teva sandals that I wear all the time in the summer. They're cool and comfortable and they smell very bad. What do you guys use to clean the odor from your sandals.Please help. It's to the point my wife won't allow them in the house and I can't say I blame her.
Thanks.

Exposure to full sunlight on a windowsill or balcony rail is my solution. For general cleaning I stick them in the dishwasher.
Plan "B"? Stick them in a bucket of soapy water and then sun dry after rinsing.

I throw my Chacos in the washing machine.

Hot water and white wine vinegar. Rinse well and dry thoroughly then put them in plastic bags and freeze for 24 hours. |

I have a pair of Teva sandals that I wear all the time in the summer My kids' sandals get mighty funky by mid-to-late summer and I just toss them into the washing machine with laundry detergent. Works like a charm. |

Hot water and white wine vinegar. This is what I do with my FiveFingers. Works well. |

We have some serious deodorizer used in removing decomposition smell when people die and aren't found right away. Few spritzes of that on the ol'Chaco's get them smelling citrus fresh.
That or soak them in a bucket of sport wash & water.

Haha. Nothing serious. We remove nuisance animals. Need it to clean up stuff like bat guano, raccoon poo, etc. It's amazing how much of a fertilizer facility peoples' attics will get.
