Newspaper inside wet shoes
Stuff crumpled newspaper into soaked shoes and change it after two hours. Dries them by morning and kills the smell, and unlike a heater it will not warp the sole.

Save the silica sachets from every shoebox and packet of namkeen and drop them into the shoe rack in monsoon. They hold back the smell and the white fungus that grows on leather in a closed rack.
Strap popped out of the sole mid-market? Push a safety pin through the strap and the base and clip it underneath. Gets you home, and honestly some people never fix it properly after that.
रात भर जूतों में एक चम्मच बेकिंग सोडा छोड़ दो, सुबह झाड़ दो। बदबू खत्म। हफ्ते में एक बार करो तो लौटती भी नहीं।
A bundle of chalk sticks tied in a thin cloth, hung inside the almirah, holds back the monsoon smell in clothes. Replace when the sticks feel soft. Silica packets from shoeboxes do the same job.
That is all 5 of them. बस, इतना ही।
