Chemistry is everywhere. Even where you don't expect it. With the 'chemistry =' poster campaign we want to show how self-explanatory chemistry actually is. Want to know more about the chemistry involved? Scroll down for additional information.
The bacteria that causes the stink thrives in a warm, moist and fertile environment. Some products for sweaty feet neutralize the smell by masking the stink. Or they kill the bad bacteria. Insoles help keep the feet dry.
Filthy environment
Another way is to make the environment unsuitable for the bacteria with the help of a foot spray. Dead cells create an environment where the bacteria thrive. If the environment is no longer suitable, the bacteria is unable to multiply further.
SuicideThe composition of the foot spray ensures that the ‘bad’ bacteria converts the liquid into formaldehyde. Formaldehyde kills the bacteria and stops the growth of new cells. So the bacteria are responsible for their own demise. Bye-bye stink.
That’s the low-down on odour eaters!
