  • Have you ever purchased something from a thrift store or garage sale, and then later noticed it had a smokey smell? Well as you probably know, removing bad smells from clothing can be tricky especially from leather or wool items. In this video, I will share how to use activated carbon/charcoal to remove those hard to handle smells!!!
    The items that I'm working with in this video, are all vintage leather pieces that I plan to resell on Poshmark.

    Thanks for the tip, I willl try that. It's always annoying to buy something second hand and realize that it smells like an ashtray.

    Never really tried it on leather but my go to for smell is straight Vodka in a spray bottle. Works amazing on wool but would maybe give it a shot on all the non leather areas?

      Does it last or is it just a temporary fix?

      I would think so....the Vodka will kill off smells and evaporate.

      There I am with my stinky jacket and a bottle of Vodka. "Here's one spray for the jacket and a shot glass for me" . . . "Here's two sprays for the jacket and two shots for me!" . . . "Here's three sprays for the jacket and three shot glasses for me~!"
      "Oh, Eff it !! Who needs the bloody jacket ANYWAY !!" . . . "I like hugging my Vodka bottle better ANYWAY !! (as I hiccup) !!

    Shouldn't you pour the baking soda over the clothing? Thats what I did with my sneackers at least, after 24 hr iI vacuum cleaned them and then give them a final hand washing. Think ill try that on my woollen jacket

    You shouldn't be so upset about leather, leather will have an smell to it that's normal, it's cleanned with Leather cleaning balms not charcoal, I have had an lot of leather s it just is like that, you could actually ruin it by doing that, just say it's leather and They can have it professional cleaned.all vintage leathers , jacket s and purses Carry and smell,it's not going to smell like clothes do ,big misunderstandings in that area, except if in the insides of the linning is useally were odor s come from.it can be cleaned. And what kind of Leather it is it, that's the key ,it is different kinds of Leather s!!!!. Bloodhounds noses??? You don't look old enough to have had a lot of leather!s just saying!!!

    You sell on Posh Mark? Right? --- Just sell the leather jacket that already smells like cigarette smoke to a "smoker". Just forget all of the wasted time trying to get the cigarette smoke out -- just advertise that the leather jacket is for a "SMOKER"! And, "PLEASE, ONLY SMOKERS SHOULD BUY THIS JACKET" !! Problem solved !!
    Smoking is SO DISGUSTING !!! Have YOU ever kissed a smoker ??? You may as well just empty out an ashtray full of cigarette butts and lick it clean with your tongue !! Have you ever seen a set of lungs that have been removed from the cadaver of a long-term smoker? !!! Their lungs are BLACK on the inside and raw-meaty looking on the outside!
    BUT YOU FOOLS OUT THERE -- YA STILL WANT TO SMOKE !! WHY ??? MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR FROM LUNG CANCER !! SHE SMOKED FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND THEN SHE DIED A HORRIBLE DEATH !! AND FOR WHAT? FOR A STUPID CIGARETTE TO BE HANGING OUT OF HER MOUTH? !!
    SO THE ANSWER IS "NO" -- YOU DON'T "LOOK COOL" OR "HOT" SUCKING ON A CIGARETTE WHEN YOU'RE 60 AND YOU'VE LOST WEIGHT FROM BEING SICK WITH LUNG CANCER !! BUT YOU IDIOT SMOKERS OUT THERE -- DON'T SEEM TO CARE ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU DOWN THE ROAD? !!
    WHY DON'T YOU PUT THAT CIGARETTE OUT AND GO LICK THE INSIDE OF AN ASHTRAY INSTEAD? -- THERE'S A LOT MORE NICOTINE IN THOSE ASHTRAYS! JUST IMAGINE THE MONEY THAT YOU'LL BE SAVING BY JUST LICKING ASHTRAYS, NO MORE PAYING $12.00 FOR A PACK OF CIGS! YOU'LL BE RICH !! RICH I TELL YA !!
