Leather care

[Hedger]

Is it possible to get a musty odor out of leather? For sheathes is it better to leave it alone or will saddle oil work to remove the odor?

I use saddle soap

Thanks for the quick response Irv. Is there a particular brand of saddle soap to use and how do you go about drying the leather after it's treated?

Try Murphys Oil Soap to clean it; then saddle oil or a leather cream. Let it sit in the sun then wipe the excess off.

I cleaned a bunch of musty even moldy Schrade sheaths with a product called Leather Therapy ®.
Use their RESTORER & CONDITIONER. It actually inhibits the mold & mildew from growing in the leather.
They have added a several products since I bought my bottle.
It is expensive, but it really works.
It is the only product I use for moldy/musty leather any more!
