STOP- here is some really important details about leather oil soap that you should know. When I searched for leather oil soap, I wished I had found a review that would help in the decision making in buying the leather oil soap

Cleaning leather….?
Ok this might not be exactly horse related but because of stuff like saddles and such I thought you guys could help. This is actually two questions.Question 1) I know that saddle soap and mink oil can be used on saddles (duh) and leather boots so can they also be used on anything leather?2) The reason I’m asking is because I’ve though about starting a small “business” on my college campus for leather cleaning. I would be willing to clean leather oil soap saddles, bridles, boots, jackets, basically anything (and hopefully I won’t have to clean literally anything leather *shudders*) and I was going to use saddle soap and mink oil (a lot of people don’t know how to clean leather :P ). Do you think this plan would work? What should I charge per item? I was thinking $5 for boots and bridles, $10 for jackets and pants, $15 for english saddles and $20 for western saddles (more leather and can be a b***h to clean sometimes). Does that sound reasonable? 3) ok I came up with another question. What brand of saddle soap and oil do you recommend? I had to clean saddles tonight and have done so in the past and for oil I prefer the wipe on kind (used saddle-lac tonight and don’t really like it).Also I am pretty speedy at cleaning. I can clean a western saddle in about 10 minutes and that is getting it pretty clean. I’m sure it would cost a ton to have it sent out to be cleaned.

wipe the sofa with a cloth and some Baby oil to restore moisture to it , make sure to wipe it off after or whomever sits on the sofa will have a greasy stain, you are best to to do before bedtime this way the sofa has all night to absorb the oil .

i think this stuff is the best:http://www.doversaddlery.com/belvoir-leather-cleaner-spray-/p/X1-31114/cn/1848/http://www.doversaddlery.com/belvoir-glycerine-soap-bar-/p/X1-31116/cn/1848/it makes your saddle clean and smells good! just make sure you read the instructions before hand… or else you will have a big noticable black spot on your saddle… not the best thing for apperance

Oils of this sort should not be used as a leather conditioner, if they are allowed to sit on the surface (especially on finished leathers – where they cannot be absorbed into the finish) they will attract more dirt and oils and will eventually damage the leather.

Go to the auto parts store and get the cleaning stuff that mechanics use for their hands. It comes in a can and looks like slime, it will get your hands clean.You could use paint remover, but it would probably not be too good for your skin.

I wouldn’t use an oil on your saddle if I were you. Oil they’ve found rots the stitching over time. I’d clean it off with liquid or a bar of glycerin, then use a good conditioner like Horseman’s One Step and rub it in with your fingers.

murphys is a good product that may help rid you of the shine, also another good product is saddle soap

take it to a car wash and get the rug cleaned they do a good job

You can’t. Best thing is to lightly oil the whole purse.Leather is absorbent, and needs oil anyway. Applying water and soap can often make it spread out further.Depending on how bad and big the spot is, you might try wetting the area, and then applying a dry washcloth to it and place a weight to keep there…hoping that the water absorbed by the cloth will carry some of the oil with it.

Neetsfoot oil will eventually rot any stitching it contacts. I have been using olive oil on my leather for 25+ years. Only possible drawback – it darkens most leathers. Understand corn oil darkens less. I use saddle soap AFTER oiling to seal oil in. Keeps it off my breeches.

i must say you are fairly organised! All i have to say is that you put a lot of effort into this horse’s care! Thats a reasonable price. The actual purchase and starting equipment is always a set back so the annual cost will probably decrease next year :) very VERY well thought out!

Furniture polish will work and it will repel dirt from sticking to boots.

JUST NEED TO MOISTURIZE MORE OFTEN

Shady357 February 19, 2011 at 12:22 pm

Is it a strap on? There is no picture!

jibbajabba February 20, 2011 at 1:01 am

clean it, conditioner it, then oil it. that happened to my horse bridle once, and it was left in the mud too, :( but i cleaned it, conditioned it, then oiled it, and it looks fantastic.

☼Lyla is pretty much done! February 20, 2011 at 12:37 pm

definitely! i wish there was something like this! i just bought some leather cleaner today, and if there was a handmade and/or cruelty free product, i would have bought it in an instant. especially being a vegetarian, cruelty free is great when i can get it, i already feel guilty having leather boots and a leather saddle.so yes, i would buy it :)

alex February 21, 2011 at 12:42 am

i oil my saddle once every month to keep the leather nice and supple. i have never heard anyone who used mink oil but i recommend neatsfoot oil. olive oil is also good but the only time i ever used that was the very first time i oiled my saddle.

What you need is a graffiti remover…these are made to remove graffiti, so they remove ink without a trace.The only graffiti remover I can vouch for is Krud Kutter Graffiti Remover, since it is the only one I have ever used personally. What did not work for me: Hair Spray, Rubbing Alcohol, Nail Polish Remover, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Hand Sanitizer, and even WD-40. But the Krud Kutter did work.Spray Krud Kutter onto a clean rag and just wipe the ink right off. It’s that simple.You can buy Krud Kutter Graffiti Remover at Target, Home Depot, and most hardware stores. You can also buy it over the Internet:http://www.google.com/products?q=Krud+Kutter+Graffiti+Remover&hl=en&lnk=pruser&price1=&price2=9-

Are you sure it is real leather? Sometimes vinyl will kind of melt and turn oily after time, especially if it is stored in a hot or damp place., or if you cleaned it with a oil cleaner that will kind of melt the vinyl. Leather normally cracks and dries out. Sometimes mildew will form on it after time if it is in a damp place. Never seen it melt or turn oily though.
