We know as well as anyone that when you treat yourself to some amazing leatherwork you want to look after it so here our some of our top tips -
Weekly Care
- Start by cleaning off dirt, sweat, and hair with a clean towel.
- Lightly dampen a sponge or towel with water, making sure to squeeze out any excess water.
- Gently wipe each piece of leather.
- Apply a small amount of our leather cleaner and buff with a soft, dry cloth.
General Maintenance
- Condition your tack every 2 weeks using our Bridlework Balm or Soft Grease.
- Use our Leather Oil every 3 months or when you feel the leather is drying out.
What To Avoid
- Avoid using Neatsfoot Oil as it can rot stitching and affect the leather's finish.
- Glycerine Soap can trap dirt in the leather and strip out the color, so it's best to avoid it.
- Stay away from cleaners that contain alcohol or chemicals that strip and dry out leather.
- If your tack becomes wet, simply dab it dry with a cloth. Avoid applying artificial heat and allow it to dry naturally. While it's still damp, apply a coating of oil.
