I have a question that I am hoping somebody can help me with. I have a pair of western working/riding chaps. I have had them for about 8 years. About 5 years ago, they were extremely dried out from mud and wear and tear. I made a ridiculous (embarrassing) decision and put them in a 5 gallon bucket with canola oil. I know this was a bad decision.... I have tried leaving them out in the sun to dry them out and there is obviously still the residue of the oil on them and it does transfer to my jeans. The chaps are still in good shape and I would hate to discard them. Are there any suggestions on how to reverse the damage I did to them? Thank you.
