A special formula for cleaning and conditioning leather. Designed to clean and condition smooth pigmented leather. Effectively and safely lifts dirt for easy removal. Replaces leather’s natural oil improving its texture and appearance. A second application leaves leather with a rich, luxurious look. Does not leave an oily residue. Safe to use.
Ready-to-use pH is 10.5

Since Leather has a pH of 6.5 I'd not be using this stuff.
Good leather cleaners should at least be neutral and preferably on the acid side to prevent damage to the Leather's structure.

David,
The first link brought the MasterBlend cleaner that is PH 10.5
The second link brought the "Leather Plus".

Interesting, I'll also be curious to know what people think.

Also what other products experienced leather cleaners here use and recommend.

I prefer Leather Doctor's Products cuz they actually work and the developer actually does Leather work.

As in everything, there are many saddle soaps out there.
Some are good and some not so good.
Start with some equestrian sites to find the good stuff.

Saddles are made from Veg Tanned Leather and completely different from Chrome tanned leather that is used on modern furniture.

I'm surprised that you have ever been "in the saddle" unless your were riding side saddle. :mrgreen:

Tony is there a supply outlet in the US for those products? Their site didn't list one.

Hi David, no not yet though I expect that to change soon,
For now just order direct from Roger and he'll ship to you.

For more information regarding Tony's post, check out this site.

It would have to be the best site in the WORLD for information and help with leather problems.

Although Roger may be a tiny bit hard to understand to some, the knowledge he imparts is priceless.

Ooroo,

David, you will also find a ton of good info on Leather care in the MB Gold mine - The Nitty Gritty has a section on Leather.
