After an initial cleaning, follow regular wash instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCare for your leather regularly with a damp sponge and saddle soap to retain a soft, solid leather. It is essential for leather care and must be used liberally, always before hydrating the leather with a conditioner.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUse warm water to dampen a sponge. Squeeze any excess water out of the sponge before using it. Wipe down all the pieces of the bridle to remove sweat, dirt and grease. Allow the leather to dry naturally before applying saddle soap. This will help to remove any stubborn dirt or grease left over.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePay particular attention to cleaning areas of your bridle that are typically under pressure during riding and exposed to saliva, such as bit straps, bottom back strap, and reins where they come in contact with bit.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIt is recommended that you regularly apply conditioner.
