My husbands work boots smell like vomit!! help!!?

My husband has to wear a particular boot to work for safety. They are leather outside. They are treated to be water resistant. However, the other day at work he got into some bad smelling stuff (smells like vomit). He has lysoled them, but they still stink! He can't wash them on the inside because of the waterprofing. What can he do?


PS- he can't put them outside because someone might steal them and he can't get new ones because we can't afford them.

Tell him to stop throwing up in his boots. Just kidding. What kind of neighborhood do you live where someone would steal vomit smelling boots? Just kidding again. I too wear heavy duty work boots like your husband. I wear 2 socks for comfort. They are great. Wash all the socks. Make sure he puts on a new pair both every day. As answered above, baking soda can do wonders. Sprinkle large time and repeat each day. Make sure you empty the extra powder before your husband puts on his extra socks. You and your husband should be OK after a couple of days.





I must tell you that it refreshing (no joke) that a woman would try to take care of a husband instead of bitching.





God bless you. Do you have a sister?
Reply:either baking soda or odor eaters
Reply:Baby Powder which is also good for removing basement smells in books.
Reply:well you can try to spray disinfectent spray , then spray nice smelling good spray
Reply:You got a lot of excellent answers here! I would try them all and then put dryer sheets in them overnight.
Reply:like the other answers, use baking soda, also, try putting dryer sheets in his boots when he goes to work to reduce odor.

Reply:throw them in the washer machine with bleach and soap. Add a liquid fabic softener in the rinse, it will help with the smell also.


Air dry them in the house by putting them in front of a fan, in the warmest part of the house. If he can walk through smelly water in them, the washing machine will not hurt them
Reply:Baking soda.
Reply:SOUNDS CRAZY, BUT, try charcoal briquets. The plain ones, not the ready lights. Charcoal absorbs odors. Try it, really, my brother tried all those other things and wasted his time. The briquets in his boots at night helped.
Reply:Clean them well on the outside and place them in a plastic bag in a cooler of ice overnight to remove the smell.
Reply:spray the insides with vinegar which will kill any germs then let them dry completely it should not harm the material. After completely dry use febreeze a couple times this will help dramatically!!! I have done this many times for dfferent shoes that got funky.
Reply:use baking soda,


put in boots %26amp; let it stay over night
Reply:apple slices, sliced thin place in the boots overnight will absorb the odor and leave a sweet smell
Reply:Sometimes it helps if you change the inner -soles. You can buy these in most super-markets %26amp; chemist´s.
Reply:You might want to try ...Dr. Scholls Oder Eaters in them...my husband works in garbage...so I know what you mean ...this helped us...so it may help you too.
Reply:a mixture of half cornstarch, half powder put in a plastic bag every night and close up
Reply:Yes you can wash them on the inside, when it drys the waterproof will still work, or afterwards you can spray on and in more waterproofer. Anyways after you wash them, with either dish or laundry soap, not through the wash just by hand. Then put baking soda inside them, and that gol bond foot powder if your willing to spend a few extra bucks to get the stuff, and musk, or baby powder works pretty good too. If it is the outside that smells, soak them in tomato juice, same way of getting rid of skunk smell.
