Stinky Water Shoes

After our last vacation I knew I had to do something about our water shoes problem. The problem was that they were so foul and stinky that we couldn't even bear to be in the same room as the shoes. It's really not the shoes' fault. We wore our shoes all summer long. Every time there was water to splash around in, they were there to protect our feet. Unfortunately,  Water +  Feet = Stink

Today I'm using vinegar and the sun to kill the stink.
I put equal parts vinegar and water in a bucket and soaked the stinky shoes for a good long time or an hour, whichever feels best.

The wet shoes got to dry in the sunshine. Which, by the way, is a natural disinfectant.

Ahhh... finally I can stand to be in the same room as our shoes.

PS- Only Trouble's and my shoes had the stink. Apparently because Mr.Perfect is in fact perfect, his shoes were immune to the stink.
