My sister placed this strange plant inside my shoes a while ago. It stayed there in the heat of my closet for weeks and weeks until I discovered it; but by then it seemed like it was too late. I tried all kinds of soap and even bleach once, but minutes after I start walking around in the shoes they start smelling insanely bad, and it’s depressing because I would actually love to wear the shoes again! Can anyone help me?

Leather or leather like shoes. Is it best to just wipe them or soak them in soap water and let them dry? Is it safe to wash shoes in the washing machine ? How do you get rid of odour and any bacteria ?
