What can I do to remove that odor especially his shoes without without damaging them?
Those of us who have raised boys sympathize with you! If you can get him to take his laundry to the laundry room every few days, that will help. I’m sure you have tried room deodorizers, which last about as long as it takes to get the lid back on the can. Odors are bacterial and bacteria must be destroyed or the odor continues its assault on your sense of smell. That is why room deodorizers don’t work. They are a perfume and as soon as the fresh sent is gone the odor returns. First of all, wash his bed blankets and mattress cover pad. Dust then vacuum his room thoroughly going over the carpet slowly and in both directions. Now use our Bac-Out and spray the curtains, and the carpet even behind the dressers. Spray his pillow and mattress as well. Then spray the room as you leave. That should get rid of the odor. Bac-Out is a highly powerful enzyme product that “eats” the odor causing bacteria killing it so it won’t return – well at least until another pair of sneakers returns anyway. For
