Saddle Soap
A castile soap and beeswax blend, the traditional deep-clean-and-condition formula for boots, saddles, and heavy-use leather goods.
What you'll need
- 2 tbsp grated castile soap
- 2 tbsp beeswax
- 2 tbsp neatsfoot or olive oil
Steps
- Melt beeswax and oil together gently over low heat.
- Stir in the grated soap until fully dissolved.
- Pour into a tin and let cool and harden.
- Apply with a damp cloth, working into the leather, then buff.
Tip: A little goes a long way — over-application leaves a waxy residue on the surface.
