We recommend different conditioners for different problems. 

1. A big favorite with us for general all around use is Lexol. 

2. A second is called Pluss-4. 

3. One of the old stand by's is good old fashion  Saddle soap, and like so many things some the one that has been around the longest works the best.  

Usage:

Lexol: Your leather goods should be conditioned about 2 times a year. If you are simply doing a "maintenance"  conditioning then we recommend that you use  Lexol is the very best for every day conditioning needs.

    Lexolcan be purchased at Atwood's, and most western supply stores. 

Pluss-4: this conditioner contains needs foot oil and some enzymes that make it ideal for "bringing back" leather goods that are stiff, and brittle. After the leather has come back to life than it's a good idea to switch back to Lexol , Although a lot of people prefer to use the Pluss-4 product as a full time and favorite conditioner.

In the Tulsa area Pluss-4  can be found (and purchased) at Mid-Continent leather supply. Mid-Continent Leather Sales Co. are located at 26450 East 111th. Coweta, OK 74112 - (918) 486-2900 (Fax) 486-4233

Saddle soap: Old fashion, but still one of the best. Saddle soap is to leather conditioners what Aspirin is to the medical industry. It has worked for years and is a good all-round conditioner. 

If you want to use Saddle soap as your "full time" conditioner then here is a recommendation. Remove the "cake" from the tin, and put it in some water where it can dissolve (emulsify) just like the soap that was left in the sink. Than you can bottle  it and have a liquid version of the same "good old remedy". The results will be the same but with a lot less elbow grease.     

We sue saddle soap to "float" ink stains out of leather. With generous applications of saddle soap you can (some times) actually "fill up" the porosity of the leather to the point that ink stains will actually be removed. We call this "floating out the stain". It will NOT work with magic markers, and other types of things like cool-aid, and stain "transfers" (that are really Dye transfers) from things like the crape paper  that was around your poinsettias last Christmas.
