Cleaning Kudu skins
I have a nice tanned Kudu hide that one of my dogs pissed on. I aired it out but it still smells a bit. Is there a way, treatment or chemical I can use to get the smell out?

Thanks for the help.

I know that some dry cleaner places can clean it.

Sometimes if i get a real rank goat come in i treat with usual deodorisers and go on to tan and mount but if there is still a smell after its dry I put some fine sawdust in a container and pour some white spirits (dry cleaner fluid) on it until its 'mushy' and then rub that into the mounted goats hair and let it sit for 1/2 hour before blowing out with compressed air.
Its works for that.

Maybe that could work for your problem?
