TomG Report post Posted February 17, 2014 I have some dyed splits that have developed a little moldy/mildew smell. I know I can use vinegar or Oxysilic acid on veg-tan to kill it, but I'm worried about ruining the nap on the splits. Any ideas or suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted February 19, 2014 I don't have a tried and true answer but hanging them outside on a clothes line in the fresh air won't hurt them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomG Report post Posted February 19, 2014 Ahhh.. I have a heavy duty clothes steamer. I'll cut a small piece off and steam the hell out of it as a test. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomG Report post Posted February 20, 2014 Well, I hit a couple of small pieces with the steamer. Don't have photos, but the musty odor seems to be down and smells like leather now <g> Thanks for all the help. If anything changes as it airs out, I'll post about it.
