How can I get the smell of sweat out of leather car seats?
My teenage daughter plays hockey and all of her gear reeks of sweat (and she does, too, if I'm being honest). Now the leather seats in my car are starting to smell funky because of how much she sweats! I obviously can't stop her from sweating, and I'd never stop her from playing hockey, but how do I get rid of the smell?

“Sports can be great for kids, but definitely not for leather seats! There’s an easy solution, though: the most efficient way to remove the smell of sweat from leather seats is to create a vinegar and water solution and wipe the seats clean.
Here’s how to make it:
- Mix one part vinegar with two parts water (or an even-mix solution) and fill a spray bottle.
- Apply it to the leather seats and let it set for about 15 minutes.
- Wipe off the excess.
- Repeat as necessary until the smell is gone.
Although a sweat smell isn’t necessarily distracting to your driving, keeping your kids safe while you’re driving is always important. If you want to make sure that you and your daughter are covered for any eventuality, you might consider adding comprehensive insurance and
collision coverage
to your policy.If you’re considering additional coverage, use the
