Leather suit making me feel ill

[Whosthedaddy]

I just got some cool leathers from ebay

They do however stink of fags Does anyone know of a way to make them smell a bit better. I hope the more I ride the less they will smell of cigarettes with all the fresh air

Please help as they could gag a maggot

Febreeze? Wipe down with a damp cloth?

Get them dry cleaned, costly but its more likely to work without damageing anything

Thumbs down for febreeze, it masks the smell for maybe 48hours at the most. The stuff really is scented water, thats it. Don't waste your money.

Another vote for dry cleaning.

Time riding in smoke free air is the only way, NO airfreshener removes smells as they claim, they simply mask it.

I think you'll find that the smeel is in the lining, not the leather itself. I'd vote for dry cleaning as it will clean the liner effectively and won't hurt the leather.

Glad to see the smoking ban has gone through as well, mind you, that wouldn't change purchases made on Ebay.

Cheers

If you can turn them inside out you could have a go at the lining with a sponge or cloth damped with soapy water.
The smell will soon reduce anyway, but have notied a tendency for aromas to resurface if you go somewhere warm e.g. pub.

There is new freshener i htink its called OUST ?.The advert claims it DOES NOT only cover up smells but works to get rid of them.

In wilkos yester they had it an a bottle of it like febreeze.

Another idea if you got a spare room get 1 of those smelly plug things hang you suit in the room an leave the air freshener on full.This will absolutly stick the room out an most likely make your suit smell nice an fresh like flowers owwwww whata pwetty bwoy


Edit from oust

For household odors, there’s no hiding from Oust® Air Sanitizer
Oust® Air Sanitizer is not aromatherapy. It's not perfume for your home. Oust Air Sanitizer is scientifically formulated to wipe out odor-causing bacteria in the air. So when you spray Oust® Air Sanitizer to counter unpleasant smells from pets, smoke, mold, mildew, dirty laundry, and the bathroom, you're not just hiding the odor temporarily with an even stronger scent, you are truly eliminating odors.

What about putting them in the freezer for 24-hours?

I've heard people say this kills of smelly gloves etc, so why wouldn't it work with leathers???

Put them on a warm radiator - it's the old dodge for clothing after a night out.

[Kwaks]

Keep a bowl of malt vinegar near them. It absorbs the smell of fags. And cheaper than dry cleaning

[AcIdBuRnZ]

Or don't be a chepa bastard and buy a new set of leathers

I bought mine from ebay. But I'm Scottish so it's our right to be tight
