How do you clean leather with glycerin bar soap?
I grew up riding horses and cleaning tack was a daily routine. We used glycerin and my riding instructor advised wetting the soap and not the rag. That way
here was less soap lather to remove and the oil from the soap formed a protective layer on the leather. If the leather was tacky even after it was dry,
you could use a damp rag to over the leather once more. Glycerin leaves leather
soft and protected.

What in the process can cause leather to fade in color?
When leather is produced it is dyed with aniline dyes before any other surface finishes are added.
Aniline style leathers (those that have no pigment coating added) are more prone to fading from sunlight and in some cases this can happen quite quickly and quite dramatically. It is an easy problem to fix as Aniline dyes can be used to restore the colour
Using a quality leather protector that contains UV protection can help to slow this process down.
