Remember how I said I was befuddled? I basically conflated corn starch and baking soda while talking about powdered sugar. Luckily, they do have similar properties in the realm of odor absorption.

This makes it great for attacking unpleasant odors, especially from stinky shoes. Sprinkle a bit into your favourite shoes and let it sit overnight.”
