More news from our sister site OUTDOORSmagic that’s of interest to bikers. Ahem, not us of course, our feet are always fabulously fragrant…

Grangers are clearly on a mission to render the outdoor world fresh and fragrant. First there was the Xtreme Cleaner Plus with added stinky bacteria inhibiting ingredients, now they have their sights set firmly on ponging sports shoes and boots…

The Derbyshire company’s latest product – coming soon – is ‘Odour Eliminator’ a water-based footwear spray that, they say, not only absorbs – rather than masking – odours, but also inhibits the growth of the bacteria that create odours in the first place.

Apparently the warm, damp, climate inside your shoes or boots is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria which double in number every 20 minutes, so if you left your shoes long enough, they’d eventually fill your entire house…

Thankfully Grangers should be able to prevent that from happening. And as an added bonus, the odour-absorbing agent is claimed to work instantly, making it ideal for those tricky dates with people who want to tear your shoes off…

So here’s to you, Mr Laboratory Guy. Can we have some please (for Jeremy)?
