How do I get the cigarette smell out of an old sheepskin jacket (apart from dry cleaning) without ruining it?
my ex ruined a family heirloom, my dad's old heavy sheepskin jacket through years of wearing it whilst smoking, now it's smells gross. I'm not a big fan of the chemicals used in dry cleaning, so is there another way I can clean/treat it???
Answer: Turn it wrong side out and hang it in the full sun for a day. If it still smells, turn right side out a let hang in the sun for yet another day. The sun kills smells at the source and won't damage anything. Just remember to rub your coat down with saddle soap when you are finished so it doesn't dry out.
