Hi All,
I recently purchased a used BHP. It came with a hard case, soft case & leather holster & mag holster.
When I got them home I noticed that everything except the gun reeked of cigarette smoke (everything was put in my trunk right after picking them up in a FTF transaction). I'm allergic to smoke so it's especially important to me to get the smell out (and it's just disgusting anyway...).
I managed to get it out of the hard case & soft case, however the (black) leather holsters just don't want to let go of the stench. I've cleaned them a number of times with leather soap, treated them with neatsfoot oil, rinsed with vinegar, sprayed with Oust (it worked on the soft case), etc. The thing that seemed to help the best was to spray with WD40 and wipe them down, but the smell is still there (although diminished).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott
