Stinking leather strap

Hey guys,

I have been wearing my panerai in some hot weather and I have sweated on a few straps and now the smell from them is horrible.

Have you guys ever experience that? Is there a fix or product that could get rid of the smell?

Looking forward to reading you guys.

Cheers

I've washed them with good results in the past but I've treated my straps with mink oil.

Would you wash your leather straps with soap and water?

Mink oil makes sense to me. I will try that. Thanks

Put the strap in the freezer overnight and the smell will be gone.
