How to remove the smell of the new leather jacket?
by Dyana
I bought a new leather jacket and wore it for the first time and now I smell funky. Its the smell of the leather jacket that has been absorbed by my clothes. What's the DIY solution to remove the leather jacket odor both from the leather jacket and my other clothes?

Seal the leather in a baking soda solution.1. Place the leather item in the pillowcase of the zip-lock bag.2. Tie the end of the pillowcase or seal the zip-lock bag.3. Remove the baking soda by using a small vacuum or a clean cloth.4. Repeat the baking soda process until the bad odor is gone. -

I would not sprinkle the baking soda in the bag... or you'll have a messy jacket to clean up. Maybe put it in a small pillowcase. An alternative is actually to put some charcoal is a breathable pouch (again like a pillowcase, and seal it up with the jacket.
