[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of sanitization and disinfectants. More particularly, the present disclosure pertains to a reusable adsorbent pad.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Foul feet odor, odor of socks and shoes is a huge problem in urban lifestyle where foot-wears like shoes, sandals, and the likes, are a necessity and are required to be worn by people for a long time. Depending on a person’s food habits and metabolism, smell can become worse and disturbing for vicinity and surrounding of the person wearing the shoes. The foul feet odor sticks with the foot-wears and sustains for longtime. People have to change, wash or keep the footwear in sunlight to avoid such problems. However, sometimes even after taking precautions the footwear continues to stink with the foul feet odor. Therefore, a solution to completely eliminate the foul feet odor is required.
[0004] Existing solutions and methods can include sprays/ shoe deodorants, and some home-made solutions like green tea bags, baking soda, etc. However, said solutions are based on adsorbing materials that become ineffective after using it for a few times. Also, these solutions need additional adsorbent material in large quantities and are not reproducible after one-time use. Moreover, chemical content present in sprays and deodorants may cause harm to skin of the person using it.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need to overcome above-mentioned problems of prior art by bringing a solution that eliminates foul feet odor and sweat without causing harm to skin of people.
