Tack cleaning wipes vs leather wipes

[RubysGold]

I was looking at maybe buying some of those wipes for cleaning tack with. I HATE cleaning tack and dont do it often enough. Thought maybe it would be worth having the wipes to just use after each ride

But I was wondering, are leather wipes (like for leather sofas etc) the same thing?? because their a LOT cheaper!

I've used them for years (my dirty little secret haha) and all my tack looks glorious, stitching impeccable.

£1.67 for ASDA for 30 or something ...

I just use baby wipes, tesco usually have a 2 for 1 deal on!

Home Bargains - 2 packs for £1 and they are ok

Another vote for baby wipes. I read about it in a motorbike magazine for cleaning leathers as it cleans and conditions. Just don't buy v cheap value ones, you'll use twice as many so not really such a bargain! huggies or tesco own brand are my wipe of choice!

For those using baby wipes, you may to to Google it - apparently it's not good for the leather

Also wondering about this - these look good.

I googled baby wipes long term are pretty bad for leather.

But these look good! Anything to encourage more cleaning between deep cleans!

Just use a cloth! Much cheaper I can see the appeal of wipes but i am consciously trying to reduce the amount of rubbish thrown into landfill. Most wipes are made from plastics and will never break down

I use Kieffer Leather Fluid for everyday cleaning. Unlike some of the other products which remove dirt it conditions the leather so you don't need to apply more product (soap/cream) very often. There are other cleaners which are more 'aggressive' (take off dirt faster) but they don't condition the leather so I wouldn't use as a '1 step' clean. Downside is its hard to get in the UK.....So a damp cloth may be the best option
