My teenage son wears sandals (rubber and leather) all the time during
the summer months. They can get pretty smelly. Other than scrubbing
them with soap, is there another way to deodorize them? TIA

I read this somewhere, never tried it.
Put them in a ziplock freezer bag, cover them with deodorizing kitty
litter, seal the bag and put it in the freezer overnight.

I wonder why the freezer? I would think that heating them would help more
than freezing them.

Maybe heating them high enough to kill bacteria would damage the
leather or soften the rubber, heating them to a lower temp would cause
bacteria to grow more, and freezing ceases bacteria multiplying and
kills some?
