Saddle Soap
Originally introduced in 1973, Roots Saddle Soap is a wax that helps to clean and condition your leather shoes, boots, handbags and clothing. It also repels the elements. We recommend the Saddle Soap for heavier and oiled leathers such as Box Leather and Raging Bull Leather because the product is heavy itself and softer leathers, such as Prince Leather will be weighed down by it. If using on Prince Leather, use a very small amount. Not recommended for use on Vintage Tribe Leather because it will darken the appearance of natural leathers. Do not use on suede or nubuck.
To use, first wipe off any everyday dirt from your leather item using the Roots Leather Cleaner Wipes or any other clean cloth; make sure it’s as clean as possible. Using the Roots Leather Polishing Cloth or a clean, shammy, rub a small amount at a time in a circular motion, massaging it into your leather. Leave for a few minutes to dry. |

How to Remove Salt Stains from Leather Boots and Shoes
Below are two options for removing salt stains from your leather shoes and boots. While these processes often work, they are not guaranteed. The best solution is prevention using one or a combination of the Leather Care Products listed above.
For best results, remove salt stains immediately. Do not let your leather item sit with salt on it as it can cause irreparable damage the leather. Always brush surface salt from the stains first using a leather cleaning brush, suede brush or a clean, unused toothbrush.
- Mix one-part vinegar with two-parts water. First, brush the affected area with a leather cleaning brush, suede brush or other small, clean brush that’s similar. Using a clean cloth, dampen with the diluted vinegar solution and rub lightly into salt stain. Using a clean cloth, dampen with water and rub over the previously affected area to remove any excess vinegar. Diluting the vinegar with water is extremely important so the dyes are not also drawn from the leather along with the salt. If you’re unsure, use the below method instead.
- To clean salt stains from coloured leathers, first brush the affected area with a toothbrush or other small, clean brush that’s similar. Dampen a clean cloth with milk and rub lightly onto salt stains. Wipe off any excess with a dry, clean cloth. Using a clean, damp cloth, wipe off any excess then go over one last time with a clean dry cloth. This process may slightly darken your natural leathers such as Vintage Tribe Leather.
