Leather can be in many forms. It's difficult to distinguish sometimes real from a man made product. However for real leather A coat might be called a finished leather ( shiny ) or a suede finish. If it's shiny you would wipe it down with a Damp cotton cloth. That will clean it off, no chemicals of any kind. It's the skin of a cow and will take on the odor of things that come in contact with it and smoke. Airing it out it will help but might require a good dry cleaner that specializes in leather.
If it's suede brushing it is about all you can do on your own. The lining of a coat is usually smooth satin or a polyester. That also could be wiped down with clean damp cloth also. No soap it will go thought the lining and wet the leather.

You can just put baking soda in your shoes. That stuff does a pretty good job of neutralizing a lot of odors.

First we had a musky smell almost mildew smell, now we have water at the bottom that will not drain. Tried drain and spinn and sometimes it works.

You have have some debris in the drain boot. Remove the back access panel on the washer. Look on the bottom of the tub and you will see a hose (boot) the comes off the tub going to the pump. Remove the boot and clear any debris that may be hampering the draining. Also, while you have the boot off, stick a finger up into the tub to check if there may be a small article of clothing that may be blocking the drain hole.

How do i recondition and remove the mould smell from a leather and suede coat

For leather, you will need to apply leather cleaner. It may need to polish your shoes several time, but it will work. I would recommend going to your local tack shop (horse outfitters store) and buying leather cleaner for saddles. It lathers nicely, and leaves a nice silky soft finish. It will also improve the texture and life of your shoes.
I don't know what to recommend for suede.
Hope this helps.

Kenmore washer smells/mildew on rubber

The smell problem is actually because of the softener....its nassssty stuff it coats the interior of the washer and forms a grease like residue. I would use Washer Magic (available at all appliance parts retailers) (only half the container in front loaders) and a hot wash. Also keep spraying the boot with bleach and water soluiton every few hours it will dissappear after awhile. please rate my help
