1. Remove loose dirt
Remove loose dust, hair and surface dirt before wet cleaning.
2. Clean the working surfaces
Work methodically rather than soaking the leather. Pay attention to areas where sweat and grime collect.
3. Allow it to dry
Give cleaned leather time to dry before conditioning.
4. Condition when appropriate
Use a conditioner or balm suitable for the saddle and follow its manufacturer's guidance.
Keep the routine simple
Clean the leather, allow it to dry, then condition as appropriate for the tack and its manufacturer’s instructions.
