What can I use to treat and polish leather?
Answers:
Place a small amount of a gentle, moisturizing soap such as Dove on a damp cloth and bring it to a light lather.
Rub the damp cloth on the leather without putting too much water on the leather.
Wipe away lather with a fresh damp cloth. Don't rinse the leather in water.
Polish leather with a dry towel.
Treat leather with a leather conditioner after it has dried completely.
Cleaning leather is a dangerous game. Cleaning can change the color or appearance of the leather. Always test the cleaning on a small invisible patch of leather before proceeding on the whole item.

There are a fair number of choices as far as leather conditions, cleaners and polishers go. There is saddle soap for cleaning leather, neatsfoot oil for conditioning leather, and of course plain old shoe polish. Check at your local hardware store and shoe store to find these items, usually in smaller amounts and smaller containers, with the price tag to suit the size and packaging. If you go to a saddle shop, if you can find one, try Google, you make luck out and find leather conditioners, cleaners and polishers in bulk containers with a price to match. If you want your leather goods to last it is a good idea to treat them regularly as this care will help preserve them for years to come.
