De-Stinking Leather

[John Sabato]

A non destructive method of attempting to de-stink this item would be to fill it with the kind of cat litter that includes baking soda and other odor deterents... then place it in a container of some kind (large zip lock bag maybe?) and then fill the container with the same material. It may even leech out some of the remaining chemicals.

Let it sit for a few weeks, and then remove it from the container... empty it... vacuum it with a soft brush type tool to knock loose the dust of the cat litter... and see if that helps. A high pressure air hose nozzle should dislodge any bits that remain.

...and my dear friend Tom... make sure that it is NEW cat litter, not something you have laying around

Whether it helps of not, you can still use the cat litter for its intended purpose....if your going to recycle it, make sure you de-stink the holster first... and then reuse the litter for your cat if you have one, or to soak up the oil drips in your garage or driveway from that cheap car that you drive (just kidding about the car Tom!)
