Leather Ammo Pouch

How do I get cosmoline off of my rifle strap and leather ammo pouch?
I recently bought a Russian surplus mosin nagant that was preserved in cosmoline. It also came with a bottle completely covered with cosmoline that was in the same bag as my strap and ammo pouch. Well, needless to say everything was a mess. I know you can use heat to get the stuff off of the actual rifle but will that work on the strap and pouch?
No, the pouch in leather, the strap is canvas. The only reason I’m worried about throwing the strap in the washing machine is that it’s so old.
Boil them for a few minutes in water. DO NOT use your Mom’s/wife’s/GF’s pots!!!! (Trust me, been there!)
Cosmoline liquefies at a lower temp than the 212 degrees of boiling water, so most should rise up off the gear. Just about five minutes is fine.
After, use a good degreaser like Purple Power, Fantastic, etc and clean and scrub. On the leather, when it dries use a leather oil.
