Have a musky leather coat that you would like to freshen and make smell like new? Since you can’t toss it into the washing machine, and expert dry cleaning can be very expensive, give this natural trick a try instead: Use the sun. On a bright, sunny day, turn the coat inside out and lay it on a large towel in a sunny spot for several hours. The natural ultraviolet rays from the sun will eradicate odor-causing bacteria, and inverting it will protect the leather from fading. You can also place the coat in an airtight storage box with a bowl of baking soda in the box. The baking soda will absorb odors naturally over the course of a week.
