Daughter bought a leather coat with lining at the thrift store. It smells strongly of smoke.

Any suggestions how to get the smell.out?

I’m looking for tried-and-true methods that won’t damage the leather. Have you dealt with a similar issue?

What are the best home remedies or professional cleaning options for leather?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Can wipe w/ a rag w/ vinegar. Then let it air out. Might need to wipe it a couple of times.

Don’t get the vinegar anywhere on the leather, on either side!!!

Ozone cleaner. Hang it in a bathroom and run an ozone cleaner for about 15 minutes.

It and the bathroom will have 0 smells

Zero Odor Professional spray. I bought a thrift store leather purse that REEKED. I sprayed it wet and it was almost gone when dry.

The second spray and no more smoke smell.

Got it on Amazon.

I got one too and I let it aired and sprayed real perfume every day for about a week

Clean inside and outside with vinegar, then put it in a box with a can of fresh coffee grounds inside

I had someone give me one a few years ago that smelt like cigarette smoke.

I hung it on my porch for about a month

It permeates everything and it’s hard to get rid of. Source: my parents smoke.

Sometimes I would put things in a bag with dryer sheets

There’s a new product (like iut a year) called POOF!! OMG…it’s )20 a bottle but it is phenomenal!!!

Put it inbox with some charcoal? Set it in the sun??? Moth balls in the pockets?

Turn it inside out and hang outside for two days. Turn right side out and hang outside.
