29 Cleaning and Storage
Caring for natural leather is similar to caring for your own skin. To prevent leather
from becoming hard and dry, occasionally apply a leather conditioner. A good
quality leather conditioner replaces the natural oils lost by repeated exposure to
sun, wind, and rain. Leather subject to drier climates will require more frequent
conditioning.
To retain the beauty and character of your leather saddlebags, please follow these
steps.
1. Vacuum or blow any loose dust or dirt from the saddlebag.
2. Use a good quality saddle soap and a sponge or soft cloth to clean the
saddlebag. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions. Rinse the saddlebag
with a clean wet cloth or sponge.
3. Once the leather is dry, treat it with a good quality leather conditioner.
Always follow the manufacturer’s directions.
4. Allow the conditioner to dry, and wipe off any excess before using the
saddlebag.
