Get a tea kettle perking and steam the heck out of it, scrubbing with a firm bristle brush and scotch-bright pad. Then lather with saddle soap and a sponge and/or soft brush. Rinse well under hot tap water, repeat. Then use a heat gun or high heat blow dryer to fully dry and apply new compound...

You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...
