smelly leather seat covers

[nitrox]

hi guys,

how will i remove the smell of leather seat covers which were stored for more than 6 months? i cant fully describe the smell, but its the 'naka-kulob' kind. i tried to put the seats under the sun for a week and tried to put detergent on the reverse side of the seat, but no effect.

will an ionizer help?

thanks.

try using a soap solution on the leather...let dry then apply leather conditioner

sige, try ko suggestion mo. thanks.

i used an ionizer this morning. the smell was gone during the time i was driving and the air quality was better. i hope the smell goes away in time.

Just expose it for a day and the smell will go away.

Using conditioner might not be a good idea

after exposing it to the sun, get a leather cleaner.

dont use a leather cleaner since it's not leather.

those cheapo covers most people buy are vinyl (synthetic leather) and are nowhere near being leather.

just wash them

any suggestion on what soap to use or not to use?

pwede ba lagyan ng downly para bumango?

thnx

it's vinyl, it's very tough and durable, so don't worry about it. try it for colourfastness though since there's no way for you to be certain how it was dyed.

after cleaning by mildsoap/cleaner, try mong ibabad sa diluted na bakingSoda then conditioner ..

you can't condition leatherette nga...

The air ionizer should do the trick. Ang problema lang sa ionizer, pati perfume mo mawawala amoy paglabas mo ng car.
