Saddle oil
« on: July 11, 2016, 10:30:31 pm »
 I got a " omg , wow , what did you clean the leather with "    from a customer today

 I told her i import special conditioners from the states  ...     
  But nah , it was this stuff i picked up in the horse section of my local agri store .
  And the queen uses it on her saddle apparently  :)

  Gives a nice lustre look on some leathers .

 :( Saddles are made from a very different type of leather and although good for saddles it is way too harsh for modern finished upholstery leather.
As it contains oils these will not reach the leather itself so it is counter productive as it will simply sit on the surface and attract more dirt.
Conditioners are not required on chrome tanned finished leather - a myth that has come ver from the saddle industry! Leather should be protected rather than using oils and waxes
Hope this helps
Cheers
