Saddle soap/conditioner

[beingachicken]

Apologies my search bar is refusing to work!
Ages ago I found on here a recipe for a natural home made saddle cleaner. At the time I wrote down what I needed but not the quantities. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

I think he's probably had a good few PMs about it over the years and probably won't mind at all.

Great thanks! I joined a forum once where it was written in the rules not to contact another member without being invited 😳 bit ott 😂

And a good conditioner is a VERY different thing to saddle soap, I recommend and sell Oz's conditioner and recommend my customers to never touch saddle soap!

If you want a cleaning product, I use Wilf Whites Saddle Soap and recommend it to my customers. I use Wilf Whites extensively in my restoration work as well as is everyday tack care. I also make my own conditioner based on Oz's recipe.

Thankyou all!
I have read Cremedemonths entire site (and backwards!) I’m surprised I have any tack left tbh I’ve treated it so badly/used such rubbish products.

Can I have a link to the site please

Just a quick update.
I made the conditioner, bees wax takes some melting 😩 It’s the most satisfying thing! Perfect pots of loveliness that dries like a candle.
this evening I have sat and rubbed it into my bridles, need to refer back to the website as to the next stage but I think it was buffing and shining it up.
I literally could feel it doing my leather good, maybe that’s because I’ve never done it without a sponge before?!!
It all looks amazing so far 🤞

Well done, it's hard work, truly old fashioned but good. Makes your hands soft too!

thanks , is it too wet to have bbq s in wales?

We are hoping to have one this Saturday, if not too wet and windy.
It's not a lot wetter here than back up in Caterham to be honest and as an ex biker I really don't mind the rain it's the wind that I don't like and we got that back in Caterham on the Hill too
