Eliminate Odor from Footwear
To remove foul odors from boots and shoes, spray with ReviveX® Footwear Odor Eliminator Spray. Thoroughly spray all surfaces – inside and out, including the tongue where odor causing bacteria likes to hide.

Knife Tip
To sharpen a knife, slide the knife across the sharpening stone as though you are trying to cut a thin slice off the stone. Hold the blade at roughly a 20 degree angle and draw it steadily. Be sure to count the number of strokes and do the same number of strokes on the opposite side.
