Deodorize with newspaper

This method is also useful for shoes and boots that have a musty or foul odor. Note that this method can leave streaks on some light-colored leather bags, so you’ll need to put the bag in a pillowcase or a thin bag before putting it in the middle of a pile of newspaper.

Take out the bag. Smell to see if the smell on the bag has gone. If not, put the bag back in the newspaper and leave it for a few more days. Eventually the bag will start to get rid of the smell.

Deodorize with coffee

This method is great for getting rid of the cigarette smell that clings to old leather bags. However, if the bag is stained with cigarette smoke for many years, the coffee grounds will not be able to remove the smell. This only works for old bags that have a slight tobacco smell.

    Check the bag after 1 week. It is also a good idea to keep a bag of scented flowers in the bag while in use, as the scent will continue to make the bag even more fragrant.

    • Advice

    • Remember to test on a small spot of the bag first before applying on your favorite leather items.
    • From now on keep your bags clean. Do not store the bag where it can grow mold; If you live in an area with high humidity, you should find ways to prevent mold on leather goods, such as leaving a light bulb on continuously in the shoe area, using a device or a desiccant powder.
    • Dried fresh tea leaves can be used to replace coffee grounds or instant coffee.
    • Used clothes drying scented paper can remove the unpleasant smell of old books. Maybe it also works with leather bags.

    Warning

    • Leather can be easily damaged if you use liquid detergent to clean it. You should always test on an inconspicuous spot first, or don’t try if you’re not afraid of losing quality.

    Things you need

    • Wipes – always use a soft (and clean) cloth to clean leather
    • Box with tight-fitting lid
    • Water
    • White Vinegar
    • Baking soda (stored in socks or something similar)
    • Liquid soap
    • Coffee grounds (in socks or something similar)
    • Fragrant dried flowers (in small bags)
    • Old newspaper (and a large plastic bag, such as a garbage bag); it’s good to add a pillowcase – to protect the bag from ink from the newspaper

    Old leather bags have a very bad smell or musty smell and you probably have no interest in using such a bag again. Don’t throw the bag away, try some ways to restore the bag so it smells good again.
