If the stench from your footwear regularly kicks up a stink with your other half, then this could be the solution to your relationship woes. Scientists claim to have invented a device which can eradicate foul smells from shoes, leaving them as fresh as a daisy in minutes, the Daily Mail of London reported. It works by using ultraviolet light to sterilize the bacteria which cause the offensive odors in footwear. The electrical gadget, which looks like a shoe tree, is simply slipped into the shoe and turned on at the mains before blitzing the smell away. It is said to kill 99.9% of bacteria in just 45 minutes.(See photo)
