I got a great deal on TradeMe for some bike leathers, but they're a bit musty....
Anyone know the best place to get them cleaned in Wellington?

Outside is best cleaned with baby wipes, only use good quality ones with no Alcohol. For the smell use some "Fabreeze" and hang them somewhere to air out.

I use nugget on mine, and then go over it with dubbin. Have never needed to take it anywhere for cleaning. Inside doesn't smell - only of perfume. Maybe you should wear some whilst riding, make it smell nice :rofl:

Thanks folks - I ended up wiping them down with washing powder and cold water, then hung them on the line and gave them a light hose down to get the soap suds off. Then let them air dry and used some 'elephant wax' to rejuvinate the leather. They look like new!
