Leather bag

[mancmo]

I don't know if this is the right section,but hey ho....!

I bought a lovely dark brown leather holdall bag off ebay, arrived yesterday, but has a very strange musky smell to it. I have cleaned the inside out and rubbed down with Mr Sheen leather wipes, but the smell is still lingering!

Any suggestions on how to get this smell out, can you use Mr Sheen furniture polish or will that ruin the leather?

Cheers !

(any other section of AB I can put this query on) ???

I would suggest putting some bicarbonate of soda in a small bowl and sitting it in the bag overnight.

Try home and garden section as there is often this type of question over there.
