Oil Leather
What is the difference between Leather Cleaner and Leather Oil?
Also, why does some leather cleaners say that they condition as well as clean? Isn’t that an oxymoron?
Yeah, maybe if I ask “What should I call my next show pony??” or “What do you think of my horse?” I’ll get more answers, haha.
I’ll lay it all out for you:
Leather cleaner cleans the saddle. it does so by absorbing any oil (oil as in natural oil…not the same as saddle oil). Dirt and bacteria is trapped inside oil so by applying ans wiping off the cleaner we are cleaning the saddle.
Leather conditioner replaces the natural oils in the saddle that was taken out by the cleaner.
Leather oil darkens the saddle and mildly waterproofs it.
Leather balsams (often called lederbalsams). They are similar to a wax and give your saddle a sticker feeling for more grip and they also waterproof your tack. I like to use these after I clean and condition my tack before a “humid season” to help guard against mold. Mold grows because of moisture. If your tack is waterproof then moisture won’t be absorbed by the saddle much and you won’t get much, if any, mold growth on the tack. They shouldn’t be used on saddles to give you more grip. If you need grip then you aren’t secure in your position and that needs to be resolved through correct training.
Some claim to condition and clean in one step. These are a scam that don’t work. Avoid them. In order to clean a saddle the cleaner has to be removed after application. They absorb the oil which contains all the stuff you don’t want on your tack. If it is just one step then they are implying that you don’t remove it. You just apply and leave it on. You saddle never really gets clean and that’s why so many people complain about one steps creating a cakey layer on their tack.

It seems like no one ever answers your questions…hmmm…it’s probably because they are good questions that most people don’t know LOL…I have the same problem!
LOL I know right…oh and don’t forget the “I’m getting a horse what do I need”
