Activated charcoal, a superhero ingredient, does wonders at eliminating toxins and odour-causing bacteria. That is why it’s often the main ingredient in many natural deodorants. But what about the lingering sweat and scent left behind in your shoes?
Introducing Moso Natural Mini Air Purifying Bag. Ignore its deceiving name — rather than actually purifying the air, these natural bamboo charcoal filled bags absorb odour and bacteria in boots, sneakers and gym bags.
The Mini Moso Bag is fragrance and chemical-free, and keeps shoes refreshed without the need for pumps, harmful sprays or powders, making it great to use on any fabric. It also prevents mould and mildew from forming by absorbing excess moisture. With more than 3,300 reviews, these are a must-have for travel, all-weather footwear and sports gear.

“I have to admit, I was skeptical that these were going to work. I wear nylons to work and they make my work shoes smell terrible,” said one five-star reviewer. “After the first two days, nothing changed and my shoes still stank. However, 3-5 days later, wow what a huge difference! These don't create a nicer smell, they just remove the bad ones so it smells like nothing... Really happy!”
“These actually work great!” echoed another satisfied customer. “It takes a couple of days for the stench of boots/shoes to disappear, but if you keep them in your boots they will work. What's nice is that they are small and lightweight, and leave your shoes odourless instead of with a strong scent.”
”I think it's worth getting more than one pair at a time!” raved a third reviewer. “I wish I did because now I transfer the charcoal bags from pair to pair when I'm not using them. I think it'd be more effective to leave them in.”
For only $13, these natural deodorizers offer simple maintenance that can last up to two years, making it the longest-lasting solution to odour on the market. The brand even suggests adding them to your garden once they stop being effective. Simply cut the bag open and sprinkle the bamboo charcoal into the soil, which helps plants absorb moisture and nutrients.
The Moso Natural Mini Air Purifying Bag is also available as a two-pack, for a total of four bags for $25.
