Reeky assed chrome bag.

Anyone know how to get that "well used" smell out of the heavily padded chrome bag shoulder strap?

without resorting to leeches, eye of newt, bat toe, dog tongue, or virgin blood

Soak it in vinegar and then throw it in the wash.

It might smell faintly of vinegar for a day or two but that will go away and it will smell fresh and clean.

Tumble dry or air dry?

The machine might actually soften it up... a year later it's still stiff like a board..
