\"keens\"<\/a>The other day, I switched cars with Mike. The car Mike handed over to me had all the windows down along with the sunroof wide open. After a couple of moments, I noticed a weird odor, so I kept everything open for the drive home. When I got home, Mike asked if I noticed an odor and if I could guess what it was. I thought it might be his workout clothes or work equipment. He told it was his stinky Keens<\/a>. Apparently, odor is a common problem with Keens<\/a>. He asked if I knew what to do.<\/p>\n

My first thought was that I was so glad my Chacos<\/a> didn\u2019t have the same problem. I literally live in them from spring to fall, and fortunately, they don\u2019t seem to be as prone to odors as Keens<\/a> or Tevas<\/a>. But the second thing that came to mind was that \u2013 I bet white vinegar and baking soda<\/a> would do the trick. I put the sandals in a shallow tub, sprinkled (actually dumped about a cup) of baking soda on them and then poured in enough white vinegar to cover the sandals. I left them soaking over night.<\/p>\n

Mike left them for almost a week and then rinsed them off. Voil\u00e0! The odor was gone!\u00a0Another option was to put them in the washing machine, but I didn\u2019t want to risk putting my clothes in the machine afterwards. Let me tell you, that odor was very impressive and there is no way I would risk that stench getting into our washing machine.<\/p>\n

So, if you have stinky sandals, simply grab your handy baking soda and vinegar and BAM!, the stink will be gone!<\/p>\n
