How to Clean and Deodorize Snow Boots

How do I clean and remove odors from snowboarding boots? My son’s snowboarding boots stink big time. I have no idea how to remove the odor. We have tried baking soda and other store bought odor removers, but none have worked.

Whether it’s snow boots, work boots or plain, old winter boots, the odor can become overbearing and needs to be removed. Snow boots are exposed to a lot of moisture during the winter season which can lead to bacteria growth. To remove the odor, we have to remove the bacteria. Here’s how to accomplish this.

Cleaning the Boots

You Will Need:

Warm water
Laundry soap or detergent
Sponges
Soft cloths
Baking soda
Vinegar
Towel

Steps to Clean the Boots:

Begin by removing the inserts if possible.
Allow them to dry. Air alone will kill some of the bacteria that is growing in the moisture.
Fill a sink or tub with warm water.
Add one cup of white vinegar to the water.
Add a small amount of laundry detergent and agitate the water to mix.
Place the inserts in the water and wash them thoroughly.
If the odors are strong, allow them to soak in the water for 30 minutes. The vinegar in the water will kill the odor causing bacteria.
While the inserts are soaking, moisten a sponge or soft cloth with the soapy water.
Use it to wipe the outside and inside of the boots. Rinse by wiping with plain water.
Set the boots to the side and allow them to dry.
Remove the inserts from the water and drain.
Refill the sink or tub with clean water and rinse the inserts.
Repeat the rinse process until all of the soap is removed. If a vinegar smell lingers, do not worry, it will dissipate as they dry.
Squeeze the inserts well to remove the excess water.
Reshape and lay on a dry towel.
Allow them to air dry completely.

Removing Odors

You Will Need:

Coffee grounds
Baking soda
Old pantyhose or socks
Febreeze or other freshening spray

Steps to Remove Odors:

Once the boots have been washed and dried, the odor should be gone or at least lessened.
If an odor remains after the boots are completely dry, spray them with a freshening spray such as Febreeze.
Allow them to dry again before use.
To combat odors between wearings, fill an old sock or pantyhose with baking soda, coffee grounds or both.
Tie the end of the socks or pantyhose to make pouch.
Place the pouch in the boots to absorb odors when not in use.

Additional Tips and Advice

Other odor absorbers that can be placed in the socks or pantyhose include activated charcoal (available at pet stores), newspaper or plain paper.
Allow the boots to dry completely between wearings. Moisture that remains in the boots will provide a breeding ground for bacteria.
Sof-Sole makes a shoe spray has been effective for removing odors from snow boots. It is available online.
Some have found freezing the inserts and/or boots helps to kill the odor causing bacteria. Sprinkling them with baking soda first and sealing in a plastic bag increases the effectiveness of removing the odors.

Ski Boot Cleanup and Storage Tips

You have spent all season in your ski boots and odds are they are filthy. Buckles sticking, shells are grimy and oily feeling, this is no way to store your gear. Like most of us, you have made some sort of investment in your gear, why not keep it in good shape. Similar to our piece on Post Season Ski & Snowboard Storage Preparation, following our advice for cleaning up and stowing your ski boots will ensure they are in the best shape for next season.

Post season ski boot cleanup requires minimal supplies, many of them you already have in your kitchen.

Rags or old washcloth
Tootbrush (optional)
Mild dish soap
Bucket or sink filled with hot water

Step 1: workspace and supplies

Cleaning up your ski boots is fairly painless and can be performed almost anywhere. Your sink, kitchen table (throw a towel down), garage or outside. As for a cleaning agent, we prefer just a mild dish soap like Dawn. It's very mild so you don't have to worry about it attacking the plastic shell like other solvents, and it's quite good at cutting grease and oils that are left behind by manmade snow. A few drops of dish soap in your bucket or sink filled with hot water and you're ready to dig in.

Step 2: clean up

We are focusing on cleaning up the outer shell of the ski boot. Unless you submerged your boots in water during a spring slush cup event, we see no reason for you to completely remove the liner for cleanup. Just make sure the inside of your boots are dry before storing. Depending on how dirty your ski boots are, or how much you use them, the actual cleaning portion is easy. It's best to unbuckle your boots completely to provide you with access to the entire outer shell. Armed with your rag and soapy water, start wiping down the outside of each boot from top-to-bottom, making sure you pay special attention to areas around the buckles and under each enclosure flap. Wipe off each buckle, ensure each buckle functions properly and is not sticking. If you have sticky buckles, you may need to break out the toothbrush for some additional scrubbing in those areas.

Step 3: deodorize

Deodorize huh? You might be thinking, but my boots don't stink… It doesn't matter. We have heard of people putting their boots away in the spring and after storing them all summer, they bust them out in the fall only to find some sort of funk. Odds are this is from putting the boot away damp and not completely dry. Let this be another reminder to be sure your boots are completely dry before storage. The easiest way we have found to keep boots smelling fresh is with a quick shot of FeBreeze down into each boot prior to storage.

Step 4: to buckle or not to buckle

This has long been a debate. Do I buckle my boots while not in use, or do I keep them unbuckled? Buckle your boots when they are not in use, especially for long periods of time such as the off season. A quick check with Jon Holmes from Bill & Paul's and Jon says 'buckling your boots will ensure they hold a cylindrical shape, meaning more comfort and easier to buckle up next season.'

Step 5: storage solutions

Similar to storing your skis and snowboards, many boots just get kicked into a dark corner to collect dust. Consider placing them in a gear bag to keep the dust off and store them in a location that is dry and out of the way. We prefer an area on the main floor of your house, perhaps inside a closet, laundry room or spare bedroom. These are all much better locations than your garage or basement.

Taking a bit of time at the end of the season will keep your boots fresh and ready to go next year.

Ο καθαρισμός πριν την αποθήκευση αφορά τοσο το εξωτερικό κομμάτις της μπότας (κέλυφος) όσο και το εσωτερικό και θα πρέπει να γίνεται ξεχωριστά. Γι' αυτό αναζητ κοούμε πληροφορίες για το πως διαχωρίζονται στο μοντέλο μας. Συνήθως δεν έχουν κάποιο ιδιαίτερο κούμπωμα ή κάτι που να τα κρατάει μαζί και με προσεκτικό τράβηγμα του εσωτερικού διαχωρίζονται σχετικά εύκολα.

Το εξωτερικό κέλυφος καθαρίζεται με ένα πινέλο και ένα ελαφρύ διάλυμμα καθαριστικού γενικής χρήσης για να απομακρυνθούν λάσπες και βρωμιές. Ψέκασμα, καθάρισμα με το πινέλο για να φτάσουμε παντού και σκούπισμα - ξέπλυμα. Προσωπικά κάνω και έναν έλεγχο σε όλες τις βίδες, ειδικά μετά τις αναφορές για κομμάτια που ανεξαρτητοποιούνται μόνα τους.

Το εσωτερικό τμήμα, που είναι συνήθως υφασμάτινο, το βάζω σε λεκάνη με χλιαρό νερό και κάποιο ήπιο καθαριστικό - απορρυπαντικό. Μούλιασμα. ελαφρύ τρίψιμο με το χέρι και μετά άπλωμα για φυσικό στέγνωμα. Αποφεύγω το πλυντήριο γιατί λόγω του βάρους που θα αποκτήσει με το νερό και την κίνηση από τον κάδο πιθανόν να χαλάσει κάποιο ραφή ή να σκιστεί. Αφού στενγώσει ψεκάζω με κάποιο anti bacterial καθαριστικό και βουρ για αποθήκευση.
