Can anybody recommend some saddle soap/balm etc which doesn't contain glycerine or eucalyptus? I have saddles to clean which cannot have gylcerine and one lady at the yard is allergic to eucalyptus. Is there a product out there that both of us could use?
Thanks!

You don't need either. Hand hot water, a cotton dishcloth (perfect texture) and for filthy strapwork (saddles rarely need it) a drop of Fairy in the bucket of water. Saddle soap isn't "good" for tack and in some instances it's actually unhelpful - in our humid climate it can make tack very sticky, it attracts dust and develops grease jockeys.

Clean as above and apply a good, solid type conditioner as required.
