Best Answer

You need a rag, a towel, saddle soap, and a pail of veryhot water.

  1. Take off the stirrups
  2. Pour the saddle soap into the water and stir it until it becomes foamy like a kitchen sink when you're doing the dishes
  3. Dip the rag in fully and then wring it out
  4. Scrub your saddle with the rag, frequently re-soaping it by repeating step 3

Since water is not good for leather, wipe the saddle with the towel if it is too wet.

Don't put saddle soap on the non-leather parts of the saddle.

You will need warm water at the very least. Since this will take you a while, you need to start off with hot water and refill the pail as necessary if the water cools down too much.
