Leather Care Tips
For new saddles, we recommend that you clean it on a regular basis with Fiebing's Liquid Glycerine Saddle Soap both on the top and the underside surfaces. After cleaning, lightly oil the top-side of all surfaces with Fiebing's 100% Pure Neatsfoot Oil to keep the leather supple. Be sure not to over oil! Over oiling is the most common reason for unhappy saddle owners. If you are going to use the saddle in extreme conditions, either very wet or very dry, we recommend a light coat of Fiebing's Aussie Leather Conditioner after you oil. Aussie Leather Conditioner will help keep the oils in the leather longer.
Fiebing products are the perfect choice for restoring your favorite saddles that have been worn down by outdoor elements. If the saddle just need a little cleaning and restoring, Fiebing's 4 Way Care Leather Conditioner will do the trick. This one step formula will have saddles looking as good as new. For saddles that are extremely weather-beaten, thoroughly scrub with a soft, yet firm brush, water and Fiebing's Saddle Soap Paste. Be sure you clean both sides of the leather. After cleaning, wipe the saddle off with a clean, damp cloth to remove all remaining soap. We then recommend that you re-clean the saddle with Fiebing's Liquid Glycerine Saddle Soap on both the top and underside surfaces. Oil the entire saddle lightly with Fiebing's 100% Pure Neatsfoot Oil. Again, do not over oil! Let the saddle dry for a day, preferably in the sunlight. At this point, you will want to re-oil the saddle, this time oiling the top surface only. Since the first application of oil opened up the pores, you will notice that the second application will penetrate the leather more freely. Let sit for another day. Apply Fiebing's Aussie Leather Conditioner and wipe of the excess. Follow these steps and your old, weatherbeaten saddle will look great!
