Cleaning tack?

ALL ABOUT CLEANING TACK

To clean tack, (saddles, bridles, halters, girths, etc.)
Get a small bucket of lukewarm water, a small sponge, and tack conditioner, or, "Saddle Soap".
Take your sponge, dip it in the water, then wring it out! If you don't wring it out, water will spew out everywhere on your tack, therefore leaving spots on the leather. (Don't worry if it happens. The water spots will go away if you scrub it all over again.) Then, rub the sponge in the tack soap until you can see bubbles on the sponge. Scrub and polish the saddle where it is needed. Also, clean UNDERNEATH the saddle, too! It's not about having a shiny saddle, it's about keeping it clean, for your horse! Then, wipe of excess water/soap with a clean dry rag, and your tack is finished.
