Homemade Shoe-pourri Recipe
Homemade Shoe-pourri Recipe
I am in love with this homemade Shoe-pourri recipe! If you have men or boys in the house, this is a must try. We have been trying all kinds of concoctions with our new essential oils kit. Since you showed so much love for out DIY Poo-Poo Bathroom Spray recipe I just know you will love this one too. It will take away those nasty, musty shoe odors in no time.
Here’s what you need to make your own homemade shoe-pourri recipe:
- Oats or raw rice (about a cup each)
- Essential Oils of your choice
- 1 pair of old socks
- Ribbon or a twisty tie
Here are the instructions to make your own homemade shoe-pourri recipe:
You can whip up a pair of these shoe-pourri batches in no time at all. The prep work takes just a few minutes. The hardest part is deciding which scent you want to use. I absolutely love the Four Thieves blend. It’s a combination of Cinnamon, Clove, Eucalyptus, Lemon and Rosemary. It’s heavenly! I’m a big fan of the lemon too. I guess it’s because I use it so much in my kitchen.
Did You Know: you can mix a drop of Four Theives Blend with carrier oil to the bottom of your feet every morning to prevent you from sickness. Good to know!
Mix about 4 to 5 drops of your favorite Essential Oil blends into a small bowl of Oats or Rice. We’ve tried them both and they both work with absorbing the odors.
We found it easiest to use a tall cup and curl the top opening of the sock over the edges to hold it open as you pour the contents in. That’s unless you have someone there to hold the sock open for you.
Tie the sock to close it so the contents doesn’t spill everywhere when you put it in the shoe.
Store it in each shoe for a day or so. The longer you leave it the more it will absorb.
When the scents fade you can simply add a few more drops of essential oils.
Voila! That’s it. Easy right?! We always try and tell people to get creative with their essential oil recipes. Use your favorite blends. You don’t have to purchase those expensive multilevel marketing essential oils. There are plenty of other good oils out there that don’t cost an arm and a leg.
