How to clean a leather jacket at home?

How can I clean a leather jacket at home and get rid of 'musty' smells? thank you

  • Answer:

    Start with just general leather maintenance, conditioning the leather and weather proofing it. If it still smells a bit off, then take something like a shout wipe (or similar) to the cloth on the inside or just plain febreeze. You can also always call a local leather shop. Any place that specialises leather jackets will be able to sell you leather conditioner and give you additional tips on how to rid yourself of the smell. Just don’t let them bully you into getting it professionally cleaned/conditioned without a go yourself first.

Well... I am not going to pretend that cleaning your own leather is a good idea. If you don't want to create a bigger issue with your leathers or furs you should have them professionally cleaned. There are so many factors that can cause issues that if you don't understand you can really mess them up more. I speak from experience. I found an online company that cleans leather and they even have some good information on their site as well. It isn't all about doing business with them, they really want you to have the knowledge, but if you wanted to do business with them you could. Spotlessleather.com Pretty neat site... You can order your cleaning service right on their site. Check it out!

Dryer sheets deodorize shoes; they might work for a leather jacket.
