Is Albion leather cleaner worth it..

[naza]

Hi all,
As I am sat here bored inside because of the snow I realised I could actually be cleaning my tack, however... I have ran out of my saddle soap (orange pot, can't actually remember name) So I am need of a new one please, any recommendations or comments on the albion set?

I like Effax.

 

[mandyroberts]

Albion or Kieffer are definitely the best but I do keep hearing about Effax so may try it.
The Kieffer leather cleaning fluid is amazing

Effax - almost identical to the Albion one but cheaper!

I use the Albion one (came free) on my Albion bridle but Horseman's One Stop on everything else - excellent and helps to get the colour back in black leather.

Albion is lovely but I generally use Stubben glycerine cleaner as a cheaper alternative!

Try if you can, to find out what the product contains before you decide about using it. I tried to send you some info on leather cleaners/conditioners but your mailbox is full, Oz

I use Oz's stuff, it's fantastic and all natural. Restores manky leather and my cheap bridle looks rather nice after using it

 

[DabDab]

Ooo, could you send me some info Oz?

Sent, it gives you a recipe to make your own leather conditioner within the article, Oz

I second horsemans one step but I need a good sealer as it doesn't take long to get stiff and grey again... Oz, pretty please could I have your article?

I use the recipe from the great Oz, it is great on tack, plus brilliant for treating boots, as in waterproofing walking boots and riding boots

Thanks, I am trying to encourage people to have a go making their own, then they will know exactly what's in it, Oz

For those wanting to have a go at making their own and are stumped for the beeswax here:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Locally-...var=570972654219&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

They do sell a smaller amount as a sample, depends on how much you want to make I suppose.
I am buying in 5-10 kgs at a time, Oz

 

[naza]

Thanks everyone I have bought effax for now to try

If you want an everyday clean and routine conditioning product you can't beat Wilf Whites' Saddle Soap https://crewesaddlery.co.uk/product/wilf-whites-saddle-soap/ I'm a bridle maker and it's what I recommend and use for everyday maintenance. For deep conditioning and restoration I make conditioner to Oz's recipe.

 

[Reacher]

I'm another convert to Oz's conditioner - which reminds me, I need to make some more
