Honestly, if you have a teenage boy in the house, you already know the absolute terror that is their shoe closet during the summer months. The heat, the sweat, the sports gear... it’s a lot. I bought these charcoal bags on a whim hoping they’d do something for my son's sneakers, and OMG, wow! I am genuinely blown away. Super easy to use, neutral color and you cannot beat the price!These little beige pouches have been a total game-changer. They don't just mask the smell with some cheap, overpowering artificial perfume (which usually just makes things smell like "flowery garbage"). They actually absorb the moisture and get rid of the odor entirely.But here’s the best part: these help with all shoes, not just teens. Once I saw how well they worked on his grossest sneakers, I started tossing them into my own daily shoes—everything from my workout trainers to my regular work shoes. Every single pair has benefited. They are the perfect size (about 6.5 inches, so they slide right in without stretching the shoe out), and they fit snugly into pretty much anything with a heel and a toe.For the price, you absolutely cannot beat it. You get a two-pack, they’re totally unscented, and when they start losing their steam, you just toss them out in the sun for an afternoon to "recharge" them. If you’re fighting the summer shoe smell, just grab these. Your nose will thank you.
These Activated Charcoal Odor Absorber Bags by Cocoaire are awesome! I never really considered using these for odor control, and I have no idea why I didn't! These things are amazing! We don't have an odor issue, but there are areas, like near the dog's crate for night time, she likes to have her towel in there and that can get very stinky, our son's work shoes, and the gym bags. Oh my stars. Yeah. So, I saw these and figured, I'll try. I crossed my fingers and waited.First, these are made from activated coconut shell charcoal. These are unscented, fragrance free, non-toxic and these are safe to use anywhere in your house. They are safe around pets and kids which is always important! These are rather big bags too! They are also lightweight. These are designed to be able to fit inside shoes without being too bulky and still allowing airflow. I really love these and I am now mad at myself for not trying these sooner. The bags are made out of natural cotton, and they are filled with 125g of the coconut shell charcoal. They are a really nice size!The day these arrived I tried them. I had just cleaned out the shedding hair from the dog crate and got her clean towel (she has 2 towels she considers hers, thankfully), so I decided to try them in the gym bag and our son's work shoes. Oh yeah. He works landscaping for my father's company, and he's a 22 year old. His shoes get stinky. He's pretty particular and he asked what we could do about his shoes, and here we are. The gym bag is definitely self explanatory lol! These little bags are amazing. I mean it! These took the stinky right out of our son's shoes and the ick smell out of the gym bag and everything I didn't bother to take out. Just. Wow. They were both fine by the next morning....I was flabbergasted. These not only absorb the smells, they also absorb moisture too! These work so well, I'm floored. I know its something small; but such a small and simple solution to an issue many moms have been battling....these are worth their weight in gold. I cannot believe I have lived 46 years without these in my life. These get the job done! These can also be used in closets, bathrooms, and anywhere else you have stinky smells. I am definitely buying more of these from Cocoaire...I'm sold!You can also, for lack of a better way to say it, "recharge" these! You can clear the odors and moisture out of these to reuse as long as they are still taking away odors. I'm not totally sure, but I'm assuming when they stop tackling a particular odor they have been easily removing, that's likely when its time to replace them. Or, I could be wrong, they may last a long time. I'm not totally sure about that part yet. Anyway, to "cleanse" these, all you need to do is place them out in the sunlight once a month! Awesome! I have not found a life span for these yet. When I figure that out I will update. I have been using these for about a month and a half now. So I have only sun-cleared these one time thus far, and it really works! These start working fast too, within a couple of hours after I put these in my son's shoes that odor was noticeably leaving and getting less and less.Bottom line, I have no cons for you yet. These Cocoaire bags are a must in my opinion. I will definitely be ordering several more of these. They work that well! If you are looking for some really good charcoal bag deoderizers, these are a great choice! They are all natural and amazing! I love them! My nose really loves them! These little bags work miracles!
I put these in my work shoes and by the next shift, they do not smell. I am a nurse and my foot stink from my shoes is bad even for me by the end of shift. These really work. Thank you
I got the COCOAIRE Shoe Deodorizer 2 pack. Each deodorizer is 6” x 3”. They easily fit in my shoes. They can be moved around to use anywhere there’s something smelly. They have no fragrance. They are very effective at removing smells. I’ve used them on smelly items that I wasn’t sure would be salvageable and the longer I left these with the items the less they smelled so, longevity wise these seem to be more effective the longer they stay with the smelly item. I definitely notice things have more freshness after I’ve used these. They were definitely worthwhile to get. They’ve saved some things I thought were throw aways for sure.
Works so well!!! I've been looking for a natural alternative, and this does the trick. Recommending to all my friends!
