sneakers, no more stink

Sneakers that don't stink, so you can confidently take them off anywhere. Icy peppermint leads, tea tree is sharp and green, and lime closes with a slightly bitter citrus peel. Mix this bottle into a spray bottle with water and a little alcohol, spray inside your shoes every night and let them air dry. Take the insoles out to dry separately, and your sneakers will stay fresher longer.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Lime can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.


FAQ

How do I use sneakers, no more stink in a diffuser?
Add Peppermint 3 · Tea Tree 3 · Lime 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.
What can I use instead of peppermint?
Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.
When is the best time to use sneakers, no more stink?
Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.
