What material should I buy for slippers that don't stink?

About the reason why slippers stink when worn for a long time.

At home, there are two kinds of slippers, summer sandals and winter cloth slippers.

1. Sandals and slippers

Wearing slippers in summer, going out for dinner or visiting other people's homes, as soon as you take off your shoes, an unpleasant smell spreads immediately, almost making people vomit all night!

In fact, this is not caused by foot odor, but by slippers. .....

At present, there are four kinds of slipper materials on the market: PVC (polyvinyl chloride), SEBS (hydrogenated styrene-butadiene rubber), EVA (ethylene-vinyl acid polymer) and TPU (thermoplastic elastic polyurethane).

Eva TPU itself is a soft plastic. Generally speaking, it can be directly used on sandals and slippers.

Because PVC and SEBS are hard, a special "oil" will be added to adjust the hardness, so it can be used on sandals and slippers. Of course, the "oil" mentioned here is not oil, but small liquid molecules, such as DOP (dioctyl phthalate) and white oil (polyolefin with relatively small molecular weight).

Sandals have no taste when they are not worn, because the surface does not contact microorganisms (bacteria, mold) on people's feet.

Once sandals and slippers are worn for a long time, microorganisms (bacteria and molds) will put on shoes, and these microorganisms like to eat these "oils". Microorganisms also need to metabolize, release or excrete metabolites such as amines and sulfur-containing substances after eating. These excreted metabolites will slowly give off a strange smell on shoes, which may not be smelly, but people don't like it very much.

2. Cloth slippers

Wearing cloth slippers at home in winter is not only comfortable for feet, but also more convenient to use.

However, under the daily "trampling", mop shoes began to turn black and dry, and there was a faint "bad smell".

This is mainly because there are a lot of sweat glands on people's feet, which secrete sweat all the time, which leads to the humid and warm environment of cotton mop and easy to breed a lot of bacteria.

In addition, because part of the space of cloth shoes is closed, coupled with a lot of sweat on the feet, thousands of bacteria are used to corrode all parts of slippers and produce unpleasant smells!

What can you do if you want to reduce or eliminate this smell?

It can be said that both sandals and slippers in summer and cloth slippers in winter are essential in home life, so in daily life, it is better to minimize and eliminate them.

So I also give the corresponding practical methods to share with you, so that you can always achieve a good personal image without giving people the feeling of being sloppy and not paying attention to hygiene!

Let's start with sandals and slippers. For slippers worn in summer, we should first choose high-quality materials, so as to do the first step of deodorization.

Slippers made of EVA and TPU, because the materials contain little or no special "oil", will taste less even if they are worn for a long time.

Slippers made of PVC and SEBS are naturally prone to smell because they contain a lot of "oil", are wet when exposed to water and have high microbial content.

Therefore, if economic conditions permit, sandals and slippers made of TPU or EVA can reduce the occurrence of odor.

If you buy PVC or SEBS sandals and slippers, use as little water as possible in your daily life. Even slippers placed in the bathroom should be dipped in water and put in a ventilated place to dry. If disinfectant and disinfectant powder are used together, the effect will be better.

When sandals and slippers are finished, let's talk about cloth slippers. ......

For cloth slippers, the method is actually very simple, that is, washing more in daily life. In addition, a small amount of white vinegar should be added to each cleaning, and it is best to spray it inside and outside the slippers with a watering can to play a "sterilization" role. White vinegar is corrosive to some extent, and it also has a good cleaning net for the dirt on the surface of cotton slippers.

When cleaning, you should also add some washing powder, wash the slippers with a brush, and then dry them in the sun, so that the slippers are not only dry, but also make the fibers on the surface of the cotton mop soft and fluffy, and most importantly, the odor is gone. ....

When mopping the floor without shoes, you can put dried lemon slices or orange peel on the front net to remove the smell of shoes and some fragrance.
