Highly effective & long lasting – an average deodorising lifespan of 6 to 12 months with proper care. Designed to work on even the most offensive smelling footwear. If submerged the silica beads will break and the Winter Sports Moisture Absorbers will no longer function effectively. Warning Boot Bananas are moisture-absorbing shoe deodorizers designed to combat bad smells, deal with the bacteria that cause them, and absorb the moisture that encourages those bacteria to grow. Their creators, Alex and Phil, had just moved into their first flat together when it became apparent that Phil’s climbing shoes were a problem. Lavender is another potent-smelling oil that is believed to have antiseptic and relaxing properties. Lemon oil is the final ingredient. It adds a fresh scent to the mix and is also thought to have antibacterial properties. Like real bananas, these boot bananas turn brown as they age and absorb moisture. This gives users a visual indication as to when they need to buy a new pair. Drying the products out between uses extends their lifespan. This can be done in the sun or on a radiator. Are they Sustainable?
The outer housing is made from home compostable cotton fabric & the product lifespan is up to 12 months. This innovative product is perfect for both day to day odours & taking away on travel for expeditions, camping, work or family holidays.
I am sure if this was used more frequently and over a longer duration, like directly before and after using your shoes, the effectiveness of this remedy would improve. That said, this isn’t exactly the hassle-free defuming solution I was looking for. Thankfully, all the ingredients of Boot Bananas Original Shoe Deodorisers are sustainable. Their fragrance uses essential oils. These are plant extracts without chemicals. The most hazardous thing here – the mixture might contain a few sharp lavender stems. For ingrained or extreme odour this product will not be totally effective, for help in these cases see the listing for our bestselling Boot Bananas Original Shoe Deodorisers. We’d just moved into our first flat together and the smell of Phil’s climbing shoes had become a problem he could no longer hide. We tried everything on the market to deodorise them but nothing was up to the challenge. So, putting our best feet forward, we decided to fight the funk ourselves. It’s…a banana!
Philip Osband: We distributed test patterns to climbing gyms, and after many positive responses, started production of a small quantity in our flat. Then, when interest grew from climbing shops all over England, we had to professionalize and outsource our production in 2013. In the first year, we produced 4,000 units and supplied 35 shops in England this year, we’ll sell about 30,000 units to over 170 shops all over Europe. Remove insoles and soak up excess moisture with newspaper, towel or a sponge before inserting fully regenerated Winter Sports Moisture Absorbers and leaving overnight. Boot Bananas absorb moisture from whiffy footwear, making them perfect to shove in your climbing shoes after a sweaty session. Cotton is a wonderful breathable fabric that allows the active ingredients to absorb moisture and neutralise odour. It is however prone to discolour & your Boot Bananas Original Shoe Deodorisers will turn brown over time especially with high frequency use.Can you pass on any tips from your success story for young entrepreneurs who’d also like to go into business for themselves in the sports business? Boot Bananas are made from naturally absorbent salts, minerals and plant extracts with lavender, lemon, patchouli and tea-tree essential oils all wrapped in a 100% cotton banana skin. Features & Benifits If your footwear has taken the brunt of the elements and is extremely wet use the following technique for effective drying. The cotton fabric used has the porosity to absorb moisture but if your shoes are really sweaty you can shake your bananas to release a fine mist of powder to speed up the drying process. You will be able to tell when your Boot Bananas are ready to be replaced because they slowly turn brown the more they are used, when entirely brown your Boot Bananas are saturated and need to be replaced.
