on 8/23/2008 NEWSPAPER HAS WORKED FOR ME AS AN ADSORBER OF ODOR AND DAMPNESS. I ALWAYS STUFF MY WORKOUT SHOWS WITH NEWSPAPER WHEN I REMOVE THEM.
I SEE A COMMENT ABOUT FREEZING. NORMAL HOME FREEZER TEMPERATURES SLOW THE METABOLISM OF MICROBES AND THEY REMAIN IN A STATE OF NON-REPRODUCTION, BUT MOST DO NOT DIE. AS SOON AS THE ENVIRONMENT REACHES THE APPROPRIATE WARMER TEMPEARTURE, THEY'RE MULTIPLYING EXPONENTIALLY AGAIN. THUS ONE OF THE REASONS FOR BEING VERY CAREFUL ABOUT FREEZING FOOD (OR REFREEZING FOOD) THAT SHOULD BE COOKED,EATEN OR MULCHED.

on 7/14/2008 Another way to get rid of ANY odor... Stuff it with newspaper over night. When I sold tupperware, we used this method to get rid of onion smell in our bowls. It worked just great! Now if it will get rid of ONION smell, it will get rid of ANY shoe odor. Give it a try!

on 7/14/2008 A really good way to remove shoe odour is to put your shoes in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer for a day or two. Bad smells are caused by bacteria and freezing your shoes will kill the bacteria that cause the smell.
