Fiebing's Leather & Saddle Soap (XL 340g)

A soap that cleans and cares for your favourite leather pieces

The unique leather soap: Fiebing's Leather & Saddle Soap is one of their most popular products.
Fiebing's Saddle Soap is a mild soap used for 'ages' for cleaning and preserving saddles. 
It is used all over the world - in the saddler and finesaddler craft, for shoe care and shoe cleaning and also for all smooth leather items like hand bags, belts, sport's equipment, holsters, leather furniture.

How does this leather soap work?

Use Saddle Soap on a regular basis to clean and condition your shoes.
This Fiebing's product cleans your shoes thoroughly and restores the natural conservation oils of the leather.
Especially after a cold and snowy winter during which your shoes have been exposed to bad weather conditions (ice, snow, frost, salt), they need the right treatment. 
Saddle Soap is also ideal to prepare your shoes for winter and to prevent stains and humidity.
Fiebing's Saddle Soap makes leather water resistant, provides protection and keeps your feet dry.

Ingredients and colours

Fiebing's Saddle Soap contains soap but also important leather conditioners which provide excellent protection for leather goods:
• Lanolin, a cream containing wax - makes leather water resistant and conditions it.
• Neatsfoot oil: softens leather and refines it.
• Glycerol: moists leather and accelerates the drying process.

What soap colour should I use? 

Traditionally, the yellow soap was used for saddles and saddlery, the white soap for shoes and boots.
Mind you, the yellow soap does not colour the leather, it is rather meant for the safety of the consumer. 
It acts exactly like the soap you use for your hands, sometimes it is white, sometimes yellow. Neither soap transfers colour - both clean and care in the same way. 

Use the black soap on black leather as it contains pigments and colours the leather slightly. 

• White saddle soap: uncoloured and suited for all leathers 
• Yellow saddle soap: uncoloured and suited for all leathers 
• Black saddle soap: for black dyed leather (contains pigments)

Gentle cleaning with foam

Here is how to clean shoes with Saddle Soap. The following instructions apply to all leather goods:
The shoes should be dry.
Remove dirt with a damp cloth.
With a wet soft cloth rub over the soap. Foam will appear. If not, the cloth is too dry.
Now rub the foam into the leather. Don't be afraid to use too much soap - you can always dilute it with more water. 
Rub both shoes completely with foam. 
After drying, use a soft damp cloth and polish the remaining soap (foam) away.

Please note:

Usually the leather colour does not darken when using Saddle Soap. If you want to be sure, just test it on an inconspicuous area.
This product is not suited for suede.
