Are the tea sachets reusable? Wondering how many uses you get out of each one?
Not sure Susan. They would not last forever but I’d replace them after the smell is gone or probably every couple of months. Just depends on the shoes. Ü
Hi,
I’m wondering why apple cider vinegar is recommended as opposed to distilled vinegar. I don’t really use distilled vinegar for food but I used it for cleaning, etc.
Thanks!
HHi my name is Lillian! I was looking in Pinterest for something to use and came to your
page which I absolutely Love! The sole of my feet looks okay, but feels maybe sweaty kind of ssticky and my sandals have a funky smell. Do not know what is going on! Please advice me on what to do!!
Sound fairly normal Lillian. Ü Use the idea on this post and see if that helps. Good luck!
Is it possible to still make this without the rubbing alcohol or witch hazel coz i have neither but do have the cider vinegar n distlled water?
Hi Verity! It might not be quite as effective but will still help quite a bit! Just try it!
These look great & funny but practical gifts too! The tea bag recipe mentions peppermint but doesn’t seem to be included in the instructions. Is it peppermint essence?
You use peppermint tea. Ü

Might have to make some of these bags up for my teenage sons and their trainers – sometimes I have to ask them to leave them outside!
lol! Good idea! Check out the poem that goes with it on the link at the bottom of the post. It’s pretty hilarious. Might fit the situation and make them laugh! Ü
