How often should I use Heritage Leathercare on my saddlery?

It is late at night (past my bedtime really...yawn!) and I decided to check my emails before turning in.

A customer has emailed me to say she bought Heritage Leathercare to use on her saddle and bridle and asking how often she should use it.

There isn't any set number of times to use Heritage Leathcare. It is really a question of how often you want to. Riding boots for example are cleaned every time they are used and incidentally Heritage Leathercare is recommended for use on them. Furniture, which gets a different type of wear, need only have Heritage applied 3 - 4times per year.To keep saddles,bridles, etc in excellent condition they really do not need polishing more than once per month.
Having said that, I personally do not ride so do not know how often riders polish their equipment. Heritage Leathercare cannot be used too often, the more it is used the better it looks after the leather.

I feel I do need to add a word of caution having spoken to other riders - do use Heritage Leathercare very sparingly. Saddlery should not be greasy after polishing! If it is, too much has been used and it will require buffing up.

Heritage Leathercare can be obtained online, visit www.heritagepolish.com/leather.html
