Mold and Mildew//Mothball Odors and Stains On Shoes & other Leather items.
1. Start with one pair of shoes to try. Mix a solution of 10 parts warm water with 1 part "ATX’s Odor-Kill and Stain Remover" TM (ATX ODOR KILL).
2. Spray the 10:1 solution of ATX ODOR KILL on the outside and the inside of the shoes. Dampen a jay cloth (or something similar) and wipe off the shoes both inside and out. Rinse out the jay cloth and wring it out so that it is damp. Repeat this process taking care to especially treat the inside of the shoes.
3. Re-spray the 10:1 solution on the outside and inside of the shoes. Do not wipe off. Let them set and dry, but not near heat (a radiator, for example). The moldy smell will probably be very apparent at this time. The enzyme/microbes are on the attack and working. Wet leather also has a smell of its own.
4. After the shoes are dry, smell them. They should smell much, much better and hopefully no more treatment will be needed, if so, just repeat steps 2,3,4. Then just polish them to replenish the oils in the leather.
How do I remove Rodent Urine and Feces Damage?
I very seldom write a letter like this.
I'm writing to tell you about the excellent success we have had with your product, ATX’s Odorkill & Stain Remover.
It saved the interior of a $120,000 Special Order, 1989 Porsche Sportster, it saved our customer at least $11,200, since he did not have to replace the compete interior. One of our very good customers had stored his car in a garage for over 2 years.
When he removed it, he found that it had been infested with rodents. They had defecated on every square inch of the interior, the carpet, dash and upholstery, and on the inside panel. The smell of urine and feces even permeated the fabric of the convertible roof.
Our clean up shop, cleaned, shampooed and treated the interior with "agent orange" (a citrus cleaner). We had done this 3 times, but the stench was still the same and just as strong. Now, it had the smell of orange rodent urine. It made everyone who came in contact with it nauseous.
We also tried baking soda, perfumes, and everything else in our shop, but to no avail. We then advised our customer that he must replace the entire interior at an estimated cost of $11,200. When you came along and suggested that we try ATX’s ODOR KILL & STAIN REMOVER we were dubious.
You personally treated the interior one time by spraying and saturating the carpet, the doors, the leather upholstery, the dash panel and the convertible top. After this one treatment, the horrible mix of stenches was completely eliminated.
There was absolutely no residual odor. My customer was elated at this simple, effective bio-technological low cost solution! I am pleased to be able to recommend ATX’s ODOR KILL & STAIN REMOVER on all of our vehicles. Thank you for introducing us to this superior product. Dean Pavia
How do I remove Leather odors – removing?
Leather odors – removing Yes, Odor Kill will remove the leather odor.
t will take a few treatments. Just mix it 10 parts water and 1 part Odorkill, generously spray it on the leather surface and let it stay for 15-20 minutes.
Wipe it off and repeat if necessary. Since this is water based, be sure that water sprayed on the surface will not damage your leather! Try it on a hidden spot first.
The key is to get the Odor Kill solution in contact with the leather odor molecules. Odor kill acts like little "pacmen" which attack and digest the organic matter.
They work in the presence of food, organic matter-, and water. When the area dries the enzymes die. Why don't you give us a try?

You can try it in a hidden area and experiment with how long to leave in on the spot.
