No more mold – no more odors. Start With Clean Leather Simply oiling tack is never good enough. Horse tack should be cleaned after each use because dirt and horse sweat mingle to create greasy grunge. This mix is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold to begin the process of destroying leather and weakening stitching. Ignoring this important cleaning step can lead to torn straps and can also transfer bacteria back to your horse causing irritating skin problems. How To Keep Leather In Good Condition Keep Leather Well Maintained and Nourished Without care, the elements and time will oxidize the lubricants that keep leather supple. Then, as leather is used, the dry fibers rub against each other creating friction, causing the fibers to break, split or crack. With Leather Therapy products, leather will regain a healthy look and feel. After applying LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER, within a few hours, even the driest, hardest leathers will be noticeably more supple and, therefore, less likely to weaken or split. For Initial Treatment or Restoration: Apply LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER to clean leather and allow to dry. Leather will absorb what it needs to restore suppleness. Drying time and number of applications will vary depending on thickness and dryness of leather. Because of the emulsifying effects of LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER, you may notice residue coming to the surface. This is the deeply imbedded grime of old saddle soaps or oils. Simply wipe away with a damp sponge or lint-free cloth. LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER will provide the necessary lubrication and protection.

Always Protect Leather From Mold, Mildew and The Elements Mold and mildew loves moisture and is a relentless enemy of leather. A hide is full of good food, such as protein, humectants and sugars.
