To ensure a long-lasting life, proper saddle care is essential!
Avoid storing your saddle in hot, dry areas or in cool, damp places.
Give a complete wipe-down after every use.
Always keep your saddle covered with either a saddle cover or a towel.
Caution: Keep away from pets to avoid scratches Warning! Tanned leather may be allergic to some skin types Cleaning:
Use a soft towel to wipe all loose particles.
Then, completely dissolve 3 tablespoons of pure baking soda with 3 gallons of warm water.
Dip a soft sponge into the mixture and apply to the entire saddle.
Rinse the sponge frequently and change the mixture as needed.
Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to clean basket-weave and intricate scrollwork.
Let the saddle dry naturally at room temperature, never in the sun!
Apply a leather conditioner on both sides; preferably containing beeswax and natural oils, but free of petroleum distillates.
Too much conditioner and oil will clog up the pores of the leather with a sticky build-up. Do not overdo conditioning.
Let dry completely. Then buff it to a shine with a clean cloth.
Take special care in winter to protect your saddle from mold and moisture.
