How do I de-stink Birkenstocks?

Recommended Posts

We've got a problme with a couple of pairs of stinky Birkenstocks. Other than the most malodorous air, they are in great shape and we don't want to toss them out.

I've seen a thread on de-stinking Tevas, but those techniques would be inappropriate.

Any advise on turning foul odors into pleasant aromas on Birkenstocks?

My brother put his in a large tub of baking soda for a week. seemed to work.

get large tub. fill halfway with baking soda. put shoes on top. finish filling tub with baking soda so shoes are buried.

Also, a light spray of rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide may work. Odors can be caused by bacteria, so anything antibacterial can help.

Babylon 5 fan, Bester?



Actually, you're the first one to ever notice that (in about 8 months). How about you?
I thought B5 is well known in the US (although it was aired years ago) but I've never ever met anybody on this site mentioning the show. Sad but true.
