Removing smell from leather band with ozon

Post by 23Zen23 »

After spending time on removing old smell from leather with soda carbonate and expensive leather conditioner I find one trick works better than everything else .
I use kitchen ozone generator and after half hour no odd smell . Works better than anything else !

I think that multiple procedures could work good together in heavy situations:)

I have had good success with with freezing musty leather jackets .Then placing the jacket in a pillow case with 2 bars of soap cut up in to slices and hung for 2 weeks to finish the process . Of course pick the soap that you find appealing .Jeff

So next method! I will check this one too.
The advantage of ozone procedure is time . Just 15 minutes to half hour and that’s it.
