How to Get Cigarette Smoke Out of Leather

Leather material can absorb odors, especially cigarette smoke odors. You are then left with a cigarette smell in your car, couch or jacket. Removing the smoke odor does not require special leather cleaners. As long as you use the correct methods, common household items can sufficiently get rid of the cigarette smoke smell. However, if the label on your leather item specifies that it requires professional cleaning, do not attempt to clean it yourself.
