Members catskin Posted December 1, 2011 Members Report Posted December 1, 2011 To whom it may concern. We, Mary and I just learned that one way to remove unpleasant smells is to put charcoal briquetts ( think barbeque ) near it . I realize this case has been solved long ago but other similar cases could come up. In this case I would have put a few briquittes in a bag stuck the stirrup and leather in as far as it would go and tied it around for a couple days. Charcoal is used a lot of places to get rid of ouders. It might have worked . Quote
Members saddledoctor Posted December 28, 2011 Members Report Posted December 28, 2011 One of the things we run into in our repair shop are saddle cleanings with manure and urine removal and stain removal. We apply a good grade of liquid glycerin saddle soap and brush it in with a soft tooth brush creating a good layer of suds. Followed by rinsing it off with clean clear water. While we are rinsing it off we use a Wet-Vac to remove the water and to prevent any of the dirt and or foreign materials returning to the leather. After drying we apply Harness Honey now called Leather Honey oil. If we have a stain problem we first match the color of the saddle on a piece of comparable scrap. Once we match the color we will do a dye blend on the area in need. Applying it on & immediately wiping it off until reaching our gold. As far as your wife, let me know what works so I can try it on my wife. To whom it may concern.
