Cleaning question for leather half chaps... removing odor?

ok my roommates cat decided to pee on my half chaps....they were flipped inside out so the pee is on the inside (suede) side of the chaps. anything work to get rid of the smell?!?! my chaps are black so darkening isnt an issue.... and this is the inside so neither is fading... im willing to try anything to get rid of the smell... fire away the suggestions

Throw them in the washing machine with some gentle detergent, maybe the Arm & Hammer stuff, made to kill odors. While they're still wet, use something along the lines of Lexol conditioner to keep them soft. Set them out to dry. They may still be a little stiff when they dry, but they'll soften up with conditioning and use.

ADD: Washing it is okay, as long as you don't too it too often. They also make a leather wash, I'm just not sure it's going to cut out odor as well as the A&H. It does say it has a "refreshing fragrance" though, so maybe. Check it out, I've used it and been happy with it: http://www.leathertherapy.com/index.php?...

COLD water washing please!!!! Hot water will shrink them majorly!

try scubbing them with warm/hot water and fairy liquid, if the smell is still there, wait for them to dry then do the same but scrub them with detol instead,,,, good luck !!!!

Aw man, that's terrible! Cat pee is the worst smell ever. I've washed my leather chaps once, here's what I did: Don't put your chaps in the washing machine, it's too hot even on the gentle cycle. Use some baby shampoo, something that is really gentle and won't strip the oils out of the leather. Rub it in well and then rinse under cool water until all the soap is out. Lay them flat to dry, and don't put them near a heat source such as a fireplace or heater to speed drying, it will stiffen and crack the leather. After they dry, put some leather conditioner on them and rub it in well to restore the softness and oil moisture to the leather. They might be a bit stiff the next time you wear them, but they will come back with use.
Hope you get that smell out! (Stupid cat.)
