Musty Smell on Boots

RE: Musty Smell on Boots Post By Mary (Guest Post) (04/06/2008) Is musty the same as mildew? I know that mildew odors can be dissipated by using vinegar. If the boots are clean, then just set a sponge soaked in vinegar, and wrung out, under the boots and put the sponge and boots in a plastic bag and tightly close for a few days.

That way you can wash those often more easily. One pair I put newspapers under the felt sole folded as thick as was comfortable and they were so nice and dry, and the newspaper adapted to my foot.

Leave in a dry place for a week. I've done this many times with musty shoes and purses -- it works!
