Smelly saddle - just drill it ?šŸ˜·

I don't see the problem with drilling holes in the base, Plus remove the front and rear as mentioned before, pull the leather away from the front and back then give it a really good wash, squashing the sponge and getting all the stale arse sweat out of it!
Then leave to dry fully.
That should work, shouldn't it?
 
3 pages in,

There are a lot here that sniff saddles it seems.....(sorry i cant help but see the funny side of this).
 
Thought Iā€™d give you all an update before ā€˜love islandā€™ starts and you all down toolsā€¦

Iā€™ve tried all your suggestions:

1) Injecting the Vickā€™s was really hard work but still didnā€™t disguise the stink

2) the wife was not pleased when I chucked it in with her sports bra and other bits of string, apparently chrome rails donā€™t react well with copper underwire and lace.

3) I left it in the airing cupboard for days, but the heatings off down here in the south

4) I even tried spreading some maple syrup and perinaise in the hope it would disguise things, but alas no.

5) even the local squirrel wasnā€™t having any of it, even he thought it stank of old nuts that had gone off.

Alas, there is only one thing left to do, itā€™ll be drilled in the morningā€¦
