Question from movinup
Help! I have a rather costly business bag I received as a gift. I left a bottle of bodyspray in it overnight by accident and the whole thing emptied into the bag. It is so strong i get a headache just going near the bag and don’t even know how to begin to clear out the smell. The bag is leather and not something i can rub liquids or pastes over…..any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Well, there are various things you could try.
Heat often removes odors, baking soda will absorb some.
I would probably start by putting baking soda all over it and if that doesn’t work, put it out in the sun.
My experience is that some things cannot be salvanged. This may be one of them.
