Hi All,
Please share how do you remove the bad odor from the leatherette of old cameras?

Even if i clean the leather it still stinks a lot.
Maybe i need to put the camera outside on open air for few days.
I hope it will help.

I use mink oil, then it smells like fine, new leather

The motor trade use deoderisers that make a used car that's been smoked in smell like a brand new car. It's an aerosol and works very effectively.

I had an old IVFB that stank when I first got it...time has faded the smell. Very Happy
