My Leather Jacket Smells
Have water in washing machine pour a couple of gallons into wash with 2 cups of vinegar if water is gone.
My leather jacket smells. One is to place the leather material in a cardboard box and cover it with the baking soda to absorb the odour. If this doesnt work the only thing left is to rent an ozone machine hang the jacket in a closed small room with the ozone machine running for about an hour or 2 the odor will totally disappear. Last year my leather jacket bothered me because it smelled horrible from all the old smoke smell.
The first step to deodorizing a leather jacket is to give the garment a quick wipe-down. Air the coat out with some fresh air to help rid the coat of the strong leather smell. Dip a sponge in the water and wring it out well.
Dampen -- but dont drench -- a soft cloth with clean water and give the entire jacket a thorough once-over to remove surface odors. Dampen a soft cloth with the baking soda and water solution and use it to wipe down the outside of the jacket. I was going to take it to the dry cleaner - but they told me it would be 60 to clean it.
But if you put too much on or use heavy junk then the leather cant breath. Dry the jacket with a soft dry cloth. But before you start Id first spray the jacket with a lot of Febreze inside out I like the vanilla scent because its not a strong scent.
Leave it covered for four or five days and then remove. Naturally you could always take your jacket to a professional cleaner but this is time-consuming and costly. No surprise there as I was a heavy smoker and Id had it for awhile.
Of baking soda into 1 cup of water and mix together. Which makes sense as faux leather is a type of plastic and plastic is a man-made material that is processed using chemicals. Soon moisture forms in the leather and oil and mildew forms.
