RE: Mold on a Leather Jacket Post By anthony majusiak (Guest Post) (08/05/2008) First you go to Patrick's Pub and have a beer. Once done, go home and try For full cleaning and conditioning, try this mixture: 1 part white vinegar 2 parts neatsfoot oil OR raw or food grade linseed oil Use a white lint free cloth to swirl on, leave overnight then buff for maximum shine. Remove any mildew or mold on leather before starting with a regular cleaning. To remove mildew, try this inexpensive, easy recipe: 1 part rubbing alcohol 1 part water Spray on or use on a dampened cloth. Use a clean white lint free cloth and replace as it gets dirty. Avoid direct sunlight and allow to air dry. You may also turn on a fan and allow it to gently waft over the surface. Either of these will do the trick.

I wanted to see if I could salvage them to make purses. But I guess the bag had something damp inside as both of the jackets had mold on them. Seeing as I had nothing to lose I hung them up on my clothesline and shot them with the hose. Then I sprayed them with dilute ammonia and scrubbed them with a brush and then shot them with the hose again. I mean they were soaking wet, lining and all. Then I left them on the line all day to dry. They looked as good as new. Now I am not advocating doing this with good jackets as a matter of course, but if you've got nothing to lose, go for it!
