How do I get the Smell out of Leather?  

Hi Jenny:

The only way I know how to get the smell out of leather, (is some places they cure it with pee), is take it out side and was the leather and then leave it hanging outside, (rain or shine), for at least a week.

After that keep smelling it every day until the bad smell is gone.

You can put it in a trash bag with fabric softner sheets and leave it in there closed up for awhile. You could spray it with febreeze.../ and or lysol. or consult with a dry cleaners for advice, which because its leather, may be the best choice. Its possible that there are some leather cleaners that you can use from home.

Hi Jenny, I would have to say ask the dry cleaners or they may even be able to get it out for you.... Good Luck ......

There is no real way to get the smell out of leather.
I personally love the smell of leather.
What I would try would be some kind of an oil, baby oil,,,
What you don't want to do is dry the leather out.
It is a skin and all skin has oils in them so my suggestion is replace the oil you don't like with one you like. Susan

The only thing I can suggest is to turn it outside in and use a stem cleaner , I have found it great dor any smells and any dirt , It also sanitizes pal , well worth a try xxx

Here too shoe are generally made from cow leather. They smell so bad due to sweat mainly. We use cleaners those are meant for washing silks, for example Ezee. There is another nut known as soap-nut, which we call 'reetha', this is the best. Sister you can wash your long hair clean and shining with 'reetha' .

I have a friend who is a leather worker for http://www.thomaslyte.com/ and she tells me hanging out in the air is the only thing you can do about most odours that get into leather. For a coat she reccomends using a dry cleaning bag with fabreeze* sheets pinned inside then hung on the line.

* Not sure if this would be the right brand name in oz, but basically the fragrancing sheets you can buy to put in your dryer.
