I bought sheepskin covers for my Arrow from Sporty’s (they source them from SuperLamb in California); my cockpit smells like lamb!! Will this go away after a while?? Or should I Febreeze the hell out of it!?
Update: dry cleaned the hell out of them and smell is almost gone. Just don’t Febreeze them! Febreeze reacts with sheep DNA in a very funky way. On a side note, I also removed and washed the carpets...it made them lose a few inches (they were not sewn with edges...) but got rid of a whole lot of oil, dirt, and pet urine. So celebrating with a nice Piper Champagne tonight, but also thinking about bad prior owners:
Forgot to post the pics related to my thoughts. Pic 1: Piper Champagne Pic two: what I think of bad previous owner (and in general of people who don't take care of their planes/cars..lol).

My experience with 3 “rounds” of covers...they DO fade in fragrance over time. Worth it for the comfort
just put little pants on the legs and then take a teaspoon of mint jelly every time you use them.
A can or two of baked beans should eliminate the lamb smell, lol
