It makes sense to clean them before storing, before a competition, or before selling one. (And if your stored saddle has sprouted mould, don’t worry. Just follow the steps below.)
Gather all your cleaning equipment. You’ll need:
- Mild saddle soap (glycerin)
- Non-detergent leather conditioner
- Small sponge
- Toweling (3 to 4)
- Small bucket or bowl of water (not hot)
- Stiff bristle or wire brush (optional)
- Cotton swabs
- Metal cleaner
