Scott,

A friend of mine has been in the boot and saddle repair business for years.
He cleaned boots with Comet and water. Then he used saddle soap or Leather
New, something with glycerine in it.

Make sure you don't use Comet with bleach in it. It will lighten the color.
If your chaps are dyed, maybe just use water and a soft bristle brush or
sponge. Afterwards, use saddle soap or Leather New.

Are they smooth leather or suede? Either way, hose off the dirt, let
them dry naturally, and condition them with a good conditioner. I like
bickmore's Bick4 (IF it's smooth leather). Saddle Soap and other
'cleaners' are meant to clean the leather, but they also remove oils fro
the leather. IF you use Saddle Soap (Bick1 is a liquid version of SS
and easier to use), then let the chaps dry again, and recondition them
with a leather conditioner in order to replace the leather's natural oils.

visit www.bickmore.com to see their product line and leather care tips.


Hope this helps,

Hi Guy,

A great product for cleaning and keeping the leather soft is "Dubbin". You
should be able to get it there. It's made by the Kiwi Polish Company in
Hamilton Canada and as far as I know is sold all over the world. It keeps
my riding boots in great shape...soft and supple. Hope this helps.

Regards...
