The best old fashioned way to clean a saddle is to wet down a wash cloth or clean rag and wash off all the dirt and grime. Once the leather is dry, the go over the saddle with a product like Murphy's oil soap to get all the ground-in debris. Once you have the saddle all cleaned, it's important to oil the leather again so that it will repel water and be flexible. Neatsfoot oil is the tried and true oil of experience. A couple of applications of oil will keep the leather supple and strong for many, many years.
As for the bottom or underside of the saddle, a good stiff brushing will get most of what occurs there. If that doesn't work, you may have to wet it, but if you do, make sure you dry it thoroughly also. DO NOT immerse a saddle if you don't know what the saddle tree is made of. You might warp or split the saddle tree if it is made of wood.
