    Default Removing Smoke from leather?

    Hi,

    How can I remove the smell of smoke from leather bags?

    This would include Lambskin leather and other calf skin leathers as well.

    I can upload a photo if you need, but, since it is more a general question
    and about smells, I just thought I would ask first.

    I really enjoy your forum, I read all of the cases, YOU are FABULOUS!!!!

    Thank you so much for your help on this, I look forward to buying some
    of your products.

    >>> How can I remove the smell of smoke from leather bags?

    It is the greasy micron size particulates that lodge on the leather pores that continue releasing the unpleasant smoke odors.
    When these sticky residues are removed the smell comes off as well.


    >>> This would include Lambskin leather and other calfskin leathers as well.

    When removing the greasy smoke particulates on pH sensitive leathers like most lambskin and calfskins which may not have an impervious topcoat and allowing solution to penetrated in the leather structure a ‘leather-safe’ system will have less of a side effect on dye bleeding and leather becomes stiff thereafter.


    Recommended System Procedure:

    Prep-4.4 > d’Smoke-4.7 > Clean-3.8 > Rinse-3.0.

    Note the suffix number denotes the product pH value.
    They are all within the average leather pH value of 3 to 5.
    Thus design to work in perfect harmony with the leather pH neutral or isoelectric-point or pI without upsetting the pH balance with the leather other common constituents like the tanning agents, dyestuff and fatliquor.
    When the pH value is off balance the side effects may manifest as bleeding, discoloration, tacky and result in stiffness that leads to cracks.

    When leather finishes is non-absorbent and liquids pools on its surface a stronger Prep-7.7 (alkaline) is used instead of Prep-4.4 (Acidic).

    Pictures will help me help you see better of any possible other side issues if any.

    I hope you share this information with people that have leather items as well to keep them beautiful and useful for a long time to come.
