Follow deep cleaning with an application of Effax Leather Oil. This product deep cleans and can strip the natural oils so do not over use. Once a month deep clean the saddle with EffaxCombi in a spray bottle. Apply Effax Leather Balsam all over after riding as needed to keep the saddle soft and supple without getting flabby.

Our suggested care of the saddle is to wipe it down after every ride to remove sweat and dust with a clean damp cloth. We do not recommend glycerin soap or any kind of one step cleaner. We recommend Effax leather care products. Boots, full seat britches and jackets can contribute to wear. All materials that come in contact with the leather should be clean and smooth and the leather maintained with enough grease to prevent rubbing. Cleaning the seat with a damp, clean cloth to remove the sweat is always recommended immediately after every use.įriction is also an irritant and will result in excessive wear and eventual tearing. The pH of some people’s sweat may affect the leather on the seat more than others. The salt and pH will break down the fibers of the hide. Variations in color and texture are a natural part of the leather and not to be considered flaws. Different reactions may happen since it comes from different hides. Leather will react to its environment such as humidity, temperature, use, storage, cleaning and conditioning. Quality leather is treated with natural ingredients such as plant oils, vinegar, natural dyes and water. Always remember that leather is an organic material that is elastic, soft and permeable.
