I have been using water and terry cloth to clean the leather seats. I know some of you will say Lexol, but it is hard to find in my area. Last night I came across this article recommended using saddle soap to clean the leather. I just came back from Safeway, and they don't carry it anymore.

Anyone has try this before? What else do you use to clean your leather?

Thanks!

You can find Lexol at many (if not nearly all) shoe repair shops, like the ones in shopping malls. Where in BC are you exactly? Horse and saddle (tack) shops ALL carry Lexol a few dollars cheaper than shoe shops.

Generally you shouldn't use "saddle soap" to clean your leather, as I have read that it is actually not a soap at all, and is too alkaline anyway. Remember that automotive leather has a different finish from a saddle. The thing about saddle soap isn't always universally true these days because some companies produce "saddle soap" that is really some other type of cleaner, but without knowing you're simply better off avoiding them all together.

Another method I understand works well is a solution of Woolite detergent (aka Zero up here).
