Clean 'Em Story

    My gym shoes still smell after every spray. Can you actually fix the odour?

    Quick answer

    Yes, when odour is coming from bacteria inside the shoe, sprays only mask it. Professional cleaning treats the insole and lining, eliminates odour at the source, and includes UV sanitisation. Clean 'Em includes odour treatment as standard in the £60 package, for trainers, boots, and everyday shoes.

    I've tried fabric freshener and leaving them outside but my gym trainers still stink every time I wear them. Does professional cleaning actually fix smell or just cover it?

    Clean 'Em

    We treat the cause, not just the smell. Odour is bacteria in the foam and lining from sweat and moisture. Sprays perfume over it. Our Clean 'Em deep clean includes odour elimination and UV sanitisation as standard, so the interior gets proper attention, not only the outside.

    Is that only for trainers?

    Clean 'Em

    No. Any footwear that holds odour: gym trainers, football boots, everyday leather shoes, kids' school shoes, even well-worn sandals. If it still has life left in it, hygienic cleaning is worth it before you replace them.
