best way to clean leather upholstery?

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

Have you pulled the leather off the seat yet? Sounds like no matter how much you get the leather clean, it'll just come back until the foam is clean. I'd soak the foam with Lysol disinfectant mold killing stuff (after testing in a small spot) and then let it sit. After it's dried thoroughly, I'd hose it down with water and then stick it in the sun. I had a constant leak in my old 16v behind the pass. seat. Being in damp NY, it was always getting moldly. I just sprayed half a can of Lysol on it and it was fine for a couple months. Make sure the can says anti-bacterial or kills mold on it, there are a ton of different types of Lysol out there.

P.S.- These are leather coraddo seats right? You should just give up and dispose of them in my direction ;)

Thanks to all who replied to my query. I went over them with Ivory 
yesterday evening - it was actually sunny and they dried well. 
The mildew smell is still present and it's obviously been on the foam of 
the rear seat bottom - I fear it may have also settled in harder to reach 
places.

I'll try some rigourous airing to see if that improves the situation - 
when we actually get more than 2 hours of sun and warm temperatures, that 
is.
